SPECIALIZED RECREATION SERVICES Bellingham Parks and Recreation is committed to providing quality opportunities to all members of our community. We recognize that making our services accessible for people with disabilities helps build a positive community. We strive to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act as well as foster positive relationships between all our participants. Specialized Recreation services include: • Programs designed for individuals who have a disability • Inclusion support for individuals with disabilities wishing to participate in any program offered by Bellingham Parks and Recreation • Liaison to community groups serving individuals with disabilities The programs listed in this section are designed for individuals who have a disability. They offer opportunities for individuals to develop a skill or have opportunities for socialization. Inclusion support services include arranging for requested accommodation or adaptation to facilitate successful participation in general programming offered by Bellingham Parks and Recreation. Participants will be asked if they require assistance or accommodation at the time of registration. Recreation staff will then contact participants and/or any advocates to arrange necessary support when indicated.
