When enrolling in a Park District program, please make a note in the "Special Needs?" area on the registration form. A special needs coordinator will contact you and arrange to meet with you prior to the first day of the program.

FVSRA also publishes a seasonal catalog of programs available to residents with disabilities. Catalogs are available at the Oswegoland Park District, or call 630.554.1010 to have one mailed to you.
