City of Arlington’s Parks, Recreation & Culture is committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all individuals can participate in our activities. We uphold the right of every person to engage in our programs in a non-discriminatory and welcoming setting, irrespective of their background, gender, age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or cognitive and physical abilities.

At the heart of our approach is the belief in treating all participants with respect and dignity. We ensure they have the freedom to choose activities that are both satisfying and of personal interest. To support this, we provide necessary accommodations to enable full participation in our programs, regardless of physical or cognitive abilities, if these accommodations do not fundamentally alter the program’s design, as outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

For the safety and well-being of all participants and to ensure the effective facilitation of our programs, we require that all individuals, regardless of ability, meet the minimum eligibility criteria for the programs they wish to join. Program leaders are authorized to enforce these criteria to maintain the integrity and efficacy of our offerings. To make a request, contact the Parks, Recreation & Culture Administrative Office at 817-459-5474. We will make every effort to accommodate special needs requests. By adhering to this policy, we aim to create a community where everyone feels valued and included, promoting equal access to recreational opportunities for all residents of Arlington.
