As local park and recreation agencies work to create healthy, connected and resilient communities, it’s imperative that facilities, spaces and places are open, welcoming and engaging to all community members. Creating and adopting a formal inclusion policy is a great way to ensure that your park and recreation facilities, programs and activities are accessible, welcoming and inclusive.
NRPA has developed a set of resources designed to guide agencies in creating and implementing inclusive policies in local parks and recreation.
