Avon Recreation and Parks Department Accessibility and Reasonable Accommodations Policy
The Avon Recreation and Parks Department complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We welcome individuals of all abilities to participate.The ADA requires that public recreation programs must be implemented in the most integrated setting possible, appropriate for each individual. Moreover, otherwise qualified individuals with a disability may be entitled to reasonable accommodation or modification to rules, regulations, or policies that allows them to meaningfully participate in the services offered.
If you or your child requires reasonable accommodations to participate in a recreation program, please indicate this during online registration under the “Medical Information” section of your account and contact the Recreation and Parks Department at 860-409-4332 as soon as possible, preferably at least three (3) weeks prior to the start of the program. Early notification allows us to work collaboratively to determine appropriate accommodations.
Participants requesting accommodations may be asked to complete a Program Accommodations Form and/or Medical Plan Form, available at www.avonrec.com under General Info → Department Info → Forms.
