NRPA encourages all providers of park, recreation and leisure services to provide opportunities where people of all abilities can recreate and interact together. Doing so is not just the mandate of the ADA, it is the right thing to do.
Working on Solutions Together
The Women’s Sports Foundation has produced the public policy guide “Increasing Youth Sports and Physical Activity Participation.” Park and recreation departments, advocates and concerned individuals can use the guide to implement local and state laws and public policies that increase youth sports and physical activity participation and promote gender and disability equity in school and recreational athletic programs.
NRPA has worked with the Women’s Sports Foundation to develop this policy guide and will continue to work with other organizations to promote practices, policies and procedures to help park and recreation agencies offer programs and services to EVERYONE.
