April 19th, 2011 » Are My Recreation Facilities Accessible? Where Do I start?

The 2010 ADA Standards include specific technical requirements for several

recreation environments including amusement rides, boating facilities, fishing

piers and platforms, golf courses, miniature golf, sports facilities, and

swimming pools and spas. Bringing these facilities into compliance as well as

ensuring that future programs and facilities are accessible is a challenge that

many local and state government entities are facing. Privately owned and

operated facilities are also under the gun to ensure that their facilities are

accessible. Join us for this session as we explore best practices for

approaching the assessment of our recreation facility and ensuring that

recreation programs are accessible in light of the changing regulations as well

as on-going obligations.
