DISCIPLINARY POLICY The Park District has established a policy in regard to disciplinary action for park and facility users.

THE PARK DISTRICT OF FOREST PARK

through West Suburban Special Recreation Association (WSSRA) has offered therapeutic recreation programs for our residents of all ages with a disability or special

education need for 30 years. Over 65 programs are offered each season. Therapeutic recreation specialists plan and staff the programs.

With the cold weather here, it’s only natural to think about indoor opportunities for fun. One option is the WSSRA SATURDAY BOWLING program which offers teens and adults a chance t o b u i l d s k i l l s , participate in friendly competition, and make friends. Participants bowl at Circle Lanes in Forest Park.

Up to 50 participants and WSSRA staff persons fill the lanes for two hours each week. Bowlers are grouped on lanes based on ability level. This helps the novice bowler feel comfortable and the top scorers still feel challenged. Each bowler’s success and efforts to succeed are celebrated. Adapted equipment is provided to help persons with vision

loss and physical impairments. Participants with developmental delay may even compete in local Special Olympic bowling tournaments.

Another indoor fun option is SATURDAY FUN CLUB which meets in Oak Park. This popular program for preschoolers with special education needs offers active play built on a weekly theme. Speech, fine motor and gross motor skills are practiced while the children are having fun. For two and a half hours, on a Saturday morning, parents

knowing that their children are carefully supervised, accomplish typical Saturday errands or chores. Parents and par t ic ipants both benef i t f rom this

WSSRA program. Older children are offered SUPER SATURDAYS. OUTDOOR ADVENTURES which offer similar activities for teens, meets at the Park District of Forest Park.

TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OTHER WSSRA WINTER ACTIVITIES VISIT WWW.WSSRA.NET OR CALL 847-455-2100. NEW PARTICIPANTS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO JOIN IN THE FUN. THIS WINTER IS A GREAT TIME TO GET INVOLVED WHETHER YOU PLAY INDOORS OR OUT!
