Description: Metro Parks provides social recreation programs for people with disabilities (intellectual disabilities) through the Specialized Recreation Program. Pre-registration is required for all activities. Activities include social, athletic/sports, outings, and classes. Social programs are held in the evening and during the day and include exercise, games, music, and basic fun making new friends. We offer six sports through Special Olympics (basketball, track and field, soccer, golf, softball, aquatics and bowling), year round bowling and footgolf.
