The Hillsborough Department of Parks and Recreation is committed to an inclusive approach to recreation. Inclusion is individuals with and without disabilities participating in recreation activities together.

In order for individuals with disabilities to participate as fully as possible, reasonable modifications are provided. These are individualized techniques and resources used to enhance program participation without fundamentally altering the program. Inclusion makes it possible for individuals to choose from the vast array of programs offered by the Department of Parks and Recreation.
