The Union County Department of Parks offers recreational programs for people with disabilities year-round for children, age 5, through adult. Programs include sports— fishing, golf, volleyball, swimming, karate, ice skating, and horseback riding for children—along with programs in ceramics, horticulture, cooking, and yoga for teens.

 

 

Other programs during the year have included the annual barn dance, nature programs at the county’s Trailside Nature & Science Center, and a Cinco de Mayo fest. More than 600 residents from the county and surrounding areas take advantage of this unique programming, which at times involves partnering with local community centers, schools, colleges, YMCAs, businesses, support organizations and volunteer groups.
