INCLUSION POLICY
The City of Richardson’s Parks and Recreation Department
encourages people of all abilities to participate in the recreational activities that are of interest to them. We strive to enrich our community through innovative recreation and leisure
experiences, and opportunities to increase life and leisure
satisfaction. It is our goal that people achieve a more positive, independent leisure lifestyle while participating in all of
the activities. If you require special assistance to participate
in any classes or activities, call 972-744-7881 or 972-744-7850
or call the Therapeutic Rec. Coordinator at 972-744-7854. Any
participants requiring assistance with matters not directly related to the activities and needing assistance with medications,
toileting and feeding must bring a chaperone/aid. Volunteers
are needed to work with individuals who require special assistance. Special skills are needed but not required. For information, please contact 972-744-7854.
To ensure the safety and enjoyment of others in recreation
programs, participants are expected to display appropriate
behaviors. The success of all recreation activities depends not
only on good planning and instruction, but the conduct of participants. Appropriate behavior includes the ability to follow
instructions and interact with other individuals in a positive
manner. Parks and Recreation staff will discuss behaviors of
concern with the participant and his/her family when necessary.
