Introduction to ParaParks / Fixed and Flexible Recreation examples

most neighborhood Parks don't offer many if any activities for people with special needs. What if we could use technology to transform these parks from parks with no activities for people with special needs to parks with activities for people with special needs

this website exists to start a conversation with govt officials Parks departments and people with special needs to see if this is possible to do

Signage

here is a prototype sign they could be put on a parks department fence for the community to see if they passed by the park.

In one corner of the sign is a graphic displaying symbols for different special needs

most people have a cell phone with them when they go to a park, but not everyone has a phone data plan

if you have a data plan, you can get to the paraparks website and it will give a lot of ideas on activities that could be done in your neighborhood park for people with special needs

if you don't have a data plan or would just like to chat with a Recreation professional on what activities to do in the park the telephone number on the left will allow you to chat with a Recreation therapist. Click on the link below for more information on that
