The All Abilities Paddle Launch is not just a singular entity; it's intricately woven into a broader tapestry of paddling facilities that grace Mandurah's breathtaking waterways. What makes this launch truly exceptional is its distinction as one of the pioneering endeavors of its kind in the entire state, creating a platform where individuals of all abilities can revel in the splendor of Mandurah's unique water landscape.

Key to the realization of this ambitious project was the steadfast support from the State Government. David Templeman MLA, Lisa Munday MLA, and the state government played a pivotal role by contributing essential funding, making this initiative a reality. Acknowledgment is also due to the City of Mandurah and its dedicated council members, who worked tirelessly to bring forth this remarkable addition to Riverside Gardens Foreshore.

Expressing profound pride in the city's commitment to inclusivity, the council emphasized the pivotal role played by the waterways in defining Mandurah's identity. The All Abilities Paddle Launch is a testament to the city's dedication to ensuring that the joy of being out on the water is accessible to an even broader spectrum of the community, fostering connections and creating lasting memories. A special nod of appreciation goes out to the City's Access and Inclusion Advisory Group, local paddle groups, and the members of the community with disabilities. Their invaluable leadership, insightful advice, and tireless efforts were instrumental in turning a visionary concept into the tangible reality witnessed at the launch.
