The purpose of the park is to provide a place where families can play together regardless of physical ability or disability. Many of the features were designed to accommodate those with special needs, from our ADA ramps in each part of the park, metal slides for those with cochlear implants, and ziplines that have a pull-down harness. Our hope is that there is something for everyone and families don’t have to split up and go to different parks because of a special need in their family.

Adaptive group lessons are geared for children with physical or cognitive disabilities. Students will learn stroke techniques, water safety, self-confidence, and teamwork. Parents, please note that our goal is to ensure that each child has the most successful experience possible and in order to do so the first day of classes will be an assessment of abilities. There is a possibility that the time of your child’s class may change to the other adaptive time slot if the instructor feels it is a better fit for your child
