Big Rapids Parks and Recreation Director Heather Bowman says the city is getting national attention for the handicap swing in Hemlock Park.

“Yeah, the handicap swing is a hidden little treasure that people are starting to identify across the nation which is really quite unique – to put us on the map for that.”

She says she's been getting calls by municipalities from across the country wanting to know how it came about and if there are plans they could use to build their own handicap swings.
