Accessibility happens through intentional planning, thoughtful design and ongoing maintenance. From maintaining accessible pathways and playground surfaces to improving park connections and reducing barriers, our team works to ensure that Burlington's parks and recreation spaces are welcoming to all.

Accessibility is not a one-time project, it is an ongoing commitment that guides how we plan, maintain and improve our parks. This Parks and Recreation Month, we celebrate the Accessibility and our continued commitment to serving every member of our community.

Week 1 of summer programs is in the books! From games and crafts to outdoor adventures, our participants have been making the most of every moment. We can't wait to see what the rest of the summer has in store. Here's to many more weeks of laughter, fun and new friends.
