Parks and Recreation, in some situations, can offer a customer requiring participation support a Participant Assistant. Participant Assistants are staff, volunteers or community partner staff dedicated to helping customers participate in our services.
Our ability to accommodate Participant Assistant support depends upon the support needed, available resources, staffing skill levels and availability of adaptable equipment. Some Participant Assistant services are available through community partners or grants, where eligibility requirements apply.
To learn more about Participant Assistants and our inclusive services, please speak to one of our Recreation Program Supervisors at the appropriate facility.
