THE ISSUE
In most communities, the beach is a "no-go zone" for people with disabilities because it is too difficult to navigate for someone with mobility issues or visual impairment. The sand is a natural barrier to entry for wheelchairs, causing wheels to get stuck if attempted to traverse over.
DID YOU KNOW?
Approximately 56 million Americans have a disability. The obesity rate for children with disabilities in the U.S. is 38% higher than for children without disabilities. Adults with disabilities are physically active about half as often as adults without disabilities. By the year 2030, 71.5 million Baby Boomers will be over the age of 65 and demanding services and environments that address their age-related physical changes.
In the summer of 2016, SCF launched "Adaptive Beach Days," a twice-monthly program at 6475 Collins Avenue that includes adaptive surfing, ocean therapy, yoga/meditation and art therapy. A team of qualified staff and volunteers work together to stage an entire area of the beach to make it accessible. Creating a platform of access decks across the sand, setting up tents, transferring participants into beach wheelchairs and using other adaptive beach equipment for lounging and comfort make it all possible.
Today, SCF’s mission revolves around the foundation’s largest undertaking to date – a partnership with the City
provide disabled individuals, veterans, children with special needs and the elderly the same perks of living in South Florida as everyone else… Access to the beach and ocean.
In addition to creating beach access for all, on October 27, 2017, the City of Miami Beach proudly opened the gates to its first fully accessible playground in partnership with SCF. Consisting of 13 multi-use play structures and seven exercise structures, the public space was designed to enable children of all abilities to play together. Built with residents and visitors with disabilities in mind, the city constructed a unique and tailored ADA accessible dune crossing in accordance with the park’s close proximity to the beach at 6500 Collins Avenue. In honor of Cohen’s dedication to ensure people with disabilities enjoy life to their fullest capability, the city commission named the playground: Sabrina’s Playground.

With the success of the “Adaptive Beach Days” program, “Sabrina’s Playground,” word of mouth and social media, the Sabrina Cohen Foundation has attracted local, national and international attention. Today, SCF is expanding from “pop-up” programming to building a permanent Center for year round beach access, providing even greater
with recreational activities that promote mental and spiritual wellness in one central, safe and comfortable location. On October 31, 2017, Miami Beach City Officials voted UNANIMOUSLY to allow the Sabrina Cohen Foundation to begin raising funds for the nation’s first fully accessible "Adaptive Recreation Center." The Center will be located on
On July 2, 2018, the Miami Beach City Commission approved the concept design plans for the proposed Sabrina Cohen Foundation Adaptive Recreation Center in Mid-Beach. Kobi Karp Architects designed the facility with two stories of program and fitness space, a rooftop deck and an understory with storage space for adaptive beach equipment. Renderings: Kobi Karp Architecture and Interior Design The Center will be the pinnacle of a decade of advocacy, allowing SCF to better serve the community it caters to on an ongoing basis for decades to come. SCF’s overall mission will expand to include management and
to-day basis, as outlined in the Management Agreement between SCF and the City of Miami Beach.
A vital component of the center will be an iconic and architecturally distinguished ramp that leads to every floor of the building and provides the direct link to beach access. This universal design feature will allow users in wheelchairs (and on foot) to access the multiple floors of the Center at any given time, with the freedom of no barriers. Much more than just a ramp, this Pathway will be an integral and smart way of accommodating people of all abilities without the constraints of conventional steps and/or elevators.

ROOFTOP DECK
The beautiful rooftop deck will include stunning
space and meditation garden. Lounging, aqua therapy, and sunset yoga / meditation sessions will be held daily.
The center will feature a diverse menu of indoor/outdoor programs and amenities for members at a single convenient location, including full access to the beach and the ocean, as well as an array of modified fitness programs:
Commissioners approved the Draft Concept Plan for the building to be located on the northeast corner of the City’s 53rd Street and Collins Avenue parking lot.
