Northwest Special Recreation Association
Providing Recreation Services to Individuals
with Special Needs
The River Trails Park District is a member of a cooperative agreement among 17 park districts which form the Northwest Special Recreation Association (NWSRA). NWSRA exists to provide outstanding opportunities through recreation for people with disabilities. The agency’s team of full-time Therapeutic Recreation professionals and trained part-time staff offers safe, fun and quality year-round opportunities to individuals with disabilities of all ages and ability levels. Participants benefit through increased self esteem, physical and social skills development and improved fitness and health while experiencing new challenges, making friends and having fun! Afterschool, evening and weekend activities feature cooperative sports and games, individual and team sports, arts and crafts, fitness, cooking, creative arts and drama. Camps, trips and special events are also available at various times throughout the year.

Inclusion assistance is provided by NWSRA to those individuals who wish to participate in their home park district program. When registering, the parent of an individual with a disability should inform the park district (and NWSRA, if desired) of any accommodation needed in order for the individual to successfully participate in the program. The park district staff will then contact NWSRA for assistance with the accommodation.

For more information on NWSRA, brochures may be picked up at the park district main office or at the NWSRA office at Park Central, 3000 W. Central Road in Rolling Meadows. NWSRA may be contacted at 847/392-2848 (voice), 392-2855 (TTY) or 392-2870 (fax). Check out NWSRA on the internet at www.nwsra.org.

Opportunities For Leaders
NWSRA is hiring leaders for positions of inclusion as well as NWSRA programs. If you have an interest in working with individuals with disabilities, contact NWSRA at 847/392-2848 to discuss the possibilities.
