Adaptive Recreation Services began 50 years ago at Washington Park Community Center with a small handful of activities designed to enhance the quality of life of people who experience disabilities. Today, it has become a year-round, nationally recognized program offering more than 2,500 recreational activities annually for individuals who experience physical, cognitive, emotional, mental and social disabilities.
