Therapeutic Recreation

This July we celebrate both Parks & Recreation Month and Disability Pride. During this time, we recognize the important role that parks and recreational activities play in improving our physical, mental, and social well-being. It is also a time to celebrate the accomplishments, history, and contributions of people with disabilities.

The intersection of Parks & Recreation Month and Disability Pride highlights the importance of creating inclusive and accessible spaces where everyone can enjoy programs, places and spaces. Let's use this opportunity to advocate and support inclusion initiatives that ensure our parks, programs, and facilities reflect the diversity and strength of our communities.

Celebrate by learning more about Disability Pride and raising awareness about the need for inclusivity in recreation.
