Inclusive recreation encourages opportunities for people of ALL abilities to participate and interact in Parks & Recreation activities together with respect. At The City of Federal Way, we encourage an environment that promotes and fosters physical and social inclusion of people with diverse backgrounds and various skill levels.

Why Inclusion?

Quality of Life - Through inclusive recreation programs, an individual gains positive feelings of self-worth and personal growth. Our programs also focus on a healthy lifestyle that helps promote personal wellness. Social integration helps participants grow as individuals and provides self-satisfaction. Finally, support, accommodations & assistance are provided to individuals to help facilitate a positive experience in our programs.

Removal of Barriers - Attitudinal barriers are minimized through education, staff training, and interactions between participants with and without disabilities. Physical barriers are eliminated to help facilitate participation by people of all abilities. Finally, our programs encourage the ideas of "risk taking," personal growth, personal choices & social integration to help encourage an inclusive environment.

Interaction Within Our Community - Our trips are designed to help foster social interactions of our participants with the community as a whole. We offer a full array of activities in diverse settings to which help to educate our participants and other citizens of Federal Way. These interactions will help to provide positive future notions of people with disabilites.
