Venue Access
Homewood Friends Meeting:
The front door has a wheelchair ramp, with an accessible bathroom on the ground floor. The second floor and basement are accessible by elevator. There is free and paid street parking in the neighborhood, and Homewood is off of multiple local bus routes. The side porch has steps to enter. We have a small portable ramp that can connect to the side porch if needed.
There is not a disability placard reserved parking space in front of Homewood, but there is drop off space by the curb cut by the front door. There is also a curb cut at the ends of the sidewalk, by the cross streets, 31st and 32nd St.
Other local places where we sometimes have events:
Peabody Heights Brewery
Hinenu programming usually takes place on the outdoor back patio. The patio has a large event tent with flaps that the venue keeps closed in the winter and open in the summer, outdoor heaters, and space to gather outside the tent including a stage. The Peabody parking lot on 30th St leads from the sidewalk to the outdoor patio without stairs, however there is a mildly steep slope in the parking lot so a wheelchair user may need assistance. The patio is level.
There are steps to enter the front door. There are no steps to enter the bar interior from the outdoor patio.
The indoors bathrooms are non-ADA (one step down to enter)
2640 Space on St Paul Street
Front door accessible by wheelchair ramp from the sidewalk.
Wyman Park Dell is located at 29th Street and N. Charles, with lots of open green space–and a ping pong table and playground. The grassy outdoor area is accessible via sidewalk curb cut. There is no bathroom at the Dell, but there are businesses on St. Paul Street for use.
Abell Open Space is at 32nd Street between Guilford Street and Abell Ave. It is a grassy lawn with a playground to the side. There is no bathroom access, but there are businesses on St. Paul Street with bathrooms for use.
Church of the Guardian Angel in Remington
Accessible via wheelchair ramp from the sidewalk. We have previously built our Sukkah on their front porch/patio. (The sukkah is made of PVC pipe and one may or may not need assistance to enter depending on how it’s constructed)
