INCLUSION
The City provides program modifications for all recreation and leisure activities on a case by case basis based on the needs of participants, as outlined in Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). If you require an inclusive modification for successful participation in the programs of your choice, there will be an option upon registration to make this request. Staff may contact you directly to be sure that program needs are met.
