The City of Tampa’s Parks & Recreation department offers programs that empower participants of all physical, emotional, and cognitive abilities. The Therapeutic Recreation program hosts activities and leisure services designed for persons with a disability or special needs. The goal is to assist people in developing and using their leisure time in ways that enhance their health, well-being, and independence.
.
Therapeutic and Inclusive Staff: Our staff has a wide variety of experience working with people who have special needs. Direct service staff have experience in community recreation, education, and clinical settings.
.
Inclusive Services: If you are in need of our inclusive services, please first register for your desired class, then contact the Therapeutic Recreation Coordinator for an accommodation request. Accommodation requests should be completed at least 10 days before the start of the class or activity. All swim-inclusion requests will be handled at the pool.
.
Growing Our Program: Our vision is a city that welcomes people of all abilities, with continued support and participation. We offer fun adaptive and inclusive recreation opportunities in our community including after school, art, athletic, fitness, and life skill programs. Please feel free to contact us with any suggestions.
