Accessible Life is a project that aims to help all people explore nature and public spaces, regardless of their mobility, by allowing them to share these accessible locations via Google Earth - @ermest. Everyone may contribute to Accessible Life by creating and sharing accessible outdoor spaces using Google My Maps

Memorial park is located in Cupertino, California. This popular park has acres of lawn that are ideal for family picnics, beautiful pond(Noe there is no water due to drought in California), an amphitheater, a lighted softball field, and six lighted tennis courts. It is centrally located, being adjacent to the Cupertino Senior Center, Quinlan Community Center, and Cupertino Sports Center.
