Lincoln City’s seven miles of coastline are now even more accessible.

“Accessibility has long been a priority in Lincoln City,” said Jeanne Sprague, Lincoln City Parks and Recreation director. “The addition of the Mobi-Mats and beach friendly wheelchairs extends an invitation to our beaches to everyone.”

In 2022 the City purchased 450 feet of the six-and-a-half foot wide, ocean blue mobility mats, which are installed at two (2) points. In 2024, thanks to a gift from the Friends of Lincoln City Parks & Recreation, an additional 300 feet of mobility mats have been purchased and will be installed at two additional points. We have mobility mats at a total of four (4) Beach Accesses including:

• NW 40th St.
• NW 34. St. Grace Hammond
• D-River Wayside
• SW 51st St. 

Mobi-Mats are installed from May 10th through Labor Day weather permitting.

“While Mobi-mats were initially created to provide access for people who use mobility devices such as wheelchairs and walkers, people of all abilities will benefit, making Lincoln City’s beaches more inclusive,” said Kevin Mattias, ADA coordinator for Lincoln City.

Installed from May 10th through Labor Day, Lincoln City’s Mobi-mats are portable, non-slip and roll-up, increasing beach access by creating temporary pathways. They are made from 100 percent recycled polyester and are salt water-resistant.
