The Union County Board of County Commissioners welcomes all residents with disabilities and special needs and their families to participate in our first “Paint in the Park” event of the season. This free event will take place on Saturday, May 17th, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and will be held across from the Warinanco Sports Center, located at Warinanco Park, 1 Park Drive in Roselle.
“Our Paint in the Park events are truly a delightful experience for our residents with disabilities and special needs. They provide a safe and accommodating space where participants can express their ideas and emotions through art, all while enjoying the beautiful and inspirational landscapes of our County parks,” said Union County Commissioner Chairwoman Lourdes M. Leon. “Join us for a fun and relaxing morning of painting and discovering new talents. I hope to see you there.”
Union County’s “Paint in the Park” events offer participants the unique opportunity to express their artistic abilities amidst the natural scenery of Warinanco Park.
“This initiative aligns with one of Union County’s core missions: fostering a community that is both accessible and welcoming to all, instilling pride, and peace of mind, in residents that choose to work, live, and raise their families here,” said Union County Commissioner Sergio Granados, Liaison to the Human Services Advisory Council. “We invite our special needs community and friends to participate in this life-enriching experience.”
“Paint in the Park” is hosted each year by the Union County Office for Persons with Disabilities and Special Needs under the Division of Individual and Family Support Services of the Union County Department of Human Services.
