The Recreation & Parks Department works closely with other organizations to understand and provide leisure, recreation and athletic opportunities for all citizens. Many programs and classes are adaptable for special needs individuals; when necessary to provide the most successful opportunities for participation in activities.

In addition to adapting programs and classes for special need participants, staff members
also regularly participate and help facilitate this area’s Special Olympics sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with disabilities. This gives our special populations continuing ways to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, and lead full lives. The participants also learn to share their gifts, skills, and friendship with other Special Olympians and the community.

The quarterly Activities Guide has more detailed listings of current programs and events.
