International Day of People with Disability International Day of People with Disability (IDPWD), is held on 3 December annually and celebrates and raises awareness of people with disability and equitable opportunities in all aspects of life. In 2025, IDPWD is celebrating 33 years since it was announced by the UN General Assembly in 1992. This year's theme for IDPWD is 'Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress. This year's theme means we all need to work together to make society fairer and respect the rights of people with disability

Accessibility The trail surface is combination of hard packed gravel and boardwalk. This is a grade 2 trail so there are sections in which assistance may be required. For manual wheelchair users it is recommended to do the trail with a freewheel attached (if you have one) as this will make the trail easier to navigate.
