I somehow doubt it. That would be a 1-way ticket to lawsuit-ville. I tried doing a reverse image search, but couldn't really find anything about where the pic is from. It's been posted in a bunch of places, so I'm sure that info is out there somewhere. I'm still putting my money in the mountain bike trail explanation. It looks like a lot of other roll-ins I've seen in videos of the Pacific Northwest and places like Summer-time ski resorts that cater to riders.
Yeah, the start ramp of a bike trail seems like the most likely option. In winter sports you have similar ramps too, but the rest of the path differs greatly. That part is behind the back of the photographer, so it’s hard to tell.
No this isn't malicious compliance. There is a maximum gradient for wheel chair ramps. If it's unachievable due to space constraints, you do a chair lift.
There are exceptions for things like park trails where the terrain simply cannot accommodate a wheel chair.

That has to be a joke. Looks like a mountain bike obstacle, something you'd ride down to start the trail or something.

Or it could be malicious compliance.
The share holders say we have to “do our best” to make the place wheelchair accessible. No worries, we’ll slap something together to shut them up.

Is your weak mortal flesh not capable of such trivial tasks?

Well that explains the crash pads down on 1F.

Accessible by what?

How else would you qualify for a wheelchair?
