Local Recreation Centers Offer Something for Everyone

Recreational activities can improve a person’s life. It doesn’t matter how old they are or what their ability level is. These activities are a chance for people to make connections, have fun, meet new friends, try new things, grow as people and decide for themselves what they like and don’t like. 

This is where the Plano Adaptive Recreation program comes in. Adaptive activities are designed for people with a disability. The program includes many adaptive activities for people of all ages. 

Their kids' activities promote movement, balance, teamwork and creativity. Trying different activities is important for a child. They get to decide for themselves which ones they like. This improves their decision-making skills. 

The Plano program also holds monthly dances for people aged 15 and up. These events include music, dancing, light refreshments, hanging out with peers and more. This is a great opportunity for those who like to dance the night away. 

Adults with disabilities can enjoy outings including frequent trips to local restaurants, movies, sporting events and more. These trips offer so much fun and variety. Who wouldn’t want to cheer for their favorite team or enjoy a movie with friends?

Is your child sitting at home with nothing to do? Are they looking for new friends or a way to have fun with current friends? Check out the parks and recreation department in your area. Ask about adaptive programs. You may find great resources like the Plano Adaptive Recreation Program.
