The Oswegoland Park District welcomes the opportunity to assist patrons with disabilities to enjoy all of our facilities, programs, and services. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), if you or a family member have special needs and would like to participate in a program or event, please indicate on the registration form any accommodations you may need. If you register online or plan to attend a program or event that does not require registration, you must contact the Park District at 630.554.1010 so staff may process your request.

The Oswegoland Park District is a member of the Fox Valley Special Recreation Association (FVSRA) and works collaboratively to provide reasonable accommodations for patrons with disabilities which can include: observations, staff training, additional personnel, and adaptive equipment.

In order to facilitate the coordination of services, requests for inclusion should be made a minimum of two weeks before the start date of any program or event.
