RECREATION FOR EVERYONE
Wheaton Park District and the ADA
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) took effect in January 1990. The Wheaton Park District complies with the legislation’s purpose which prohibits discrimination on the basis of a disability. The Wheaton Park District will make reasonable accommodations in recreation programs to enable participation by any individual with a disability that meets essential eligibility requirements for that leisure program and facilities. The ADA requires that recreation programs offered by the park district be available in the most integrated setting appropriate for each individual.
If you have questions about Wheaton’s commitment to the ADA policy or you believe you have been unfairly discriminated against by the park district, please call the park district at 630-945-7726.
