Clubs & Special Populations

Special Populations

It is the policy of the Schaumburg Park District to welcome all people to park district services, programs and activities, regardless of physical limitations. If you or a family member has a disability, and are interested in participating in a program or activity, or if you or a family member require any SPD publications be provided to you in a special format (e.g., braille, audio-cassette, large print), please advise our staff. To assist the district in making these accommodations, contact the director before the start of the program or event to discuss accommodations for a smooth inclusion. In addition to programs listed in this brochure, the SPD also provides specialized services for people with disabilities through NWSRA.
