The program has begun with the visit of a group of people with different degrees of disability, belonging to the Todos Somos Campus program, promoted by the UMU and a grant from the ONCE Foundation.
In addition to visiting the park facilities, they were able to learn about the actions of the Terra Natura professionals in different areas of action such as animal care and care, marketing or administration.
"Terra Natura has become the green lung of our city, a space surrounded by trees, nature and animals that is only a few kilometers from the center." From the City of Murcia we put all the facilities at our disposal so that This park is known and enjoyed by everyone, whether in family or with friends, it is an accessible park and open all year round "José Guillén highlighted.
100% accessible park
Terra Natura is considered as a totally accessible venue.

For example, climbing accesses have been adapted, the holes in the trees have been filled, the closings and entrances to the bathrooms have been conditioned, specific areas for people in wheelchairs have been installed and improvements in the hearing system have also been applied.
Zootherapy is another activity that takes place in the Adapted Summer School.

These therapies are taught by therapists and the objectives are physiotherapeutic, psycho-social and logopedic, among others.
They are aimed at students with disabilities, between 5 and 20 years.
