disability and inclusion services

We believe that everyone should have the chance to try something new.

The Glenview Park District is one of thirteen partner agencies that support the Northern Suburban Special Recreation Association (NSSRA), which provides and facilitates year-round recreation programs and services for children, teens, and adults with disabilities. NSSRA offers recreation, sport, cultural and social programs and events available throughout the year, creating new experiences, opportunities for skill development, and leisure time.

Inclusion services for Glenview Park District programs are available to residents with special needs with no additional cost to the family. Inclusion services may include, when necessary, staff training, program modifications and adaptations, modified equipment, program observations and companion services. When registering for a Glenview Park District program for the first time:

  • Check Section 3, Americans with Disabilities Act accommodation on the registration form to indicate that the participant will require assistance from NSSRA
  • Once your registration form is submitted, the Glenview Park District will contact you to discuss your request
  • The Park District will provide our partner NSSRA with an Inclusion Request that contains both program and participant information
  • You will be contacted by NSSRA to discuss the needs of the participant and get input on the type of support required
  • NSSRA will work with the Park District to put the necessary inclusion accommodations in place for participation in the desired program(s)
  • Communication between you, NSSRA, Glenview Park District staff continues throughout the Inclusion process

accessibility transition plan

The Glenview Park District strives to make its buildings and facilities accessible to individuals with disabilities. The purpose of this project was to conduct an evaluation of the Park District’s current facilities and properties to determine any elements that adversely affect the full participation of individuals with disabilities. The results of the study became the basis for the District’s Accessibility Transition Plan.
