Riverside Opportunities for Adaptive Recreation

for our developmentally disabled residents. Riverside seeks to provide services that
improve our residents’ quality of life opportunities in a fiscally responsible manner
consistent with our Villages historic tradition and community atmosphere.

space. Please make sure the participant is dressed from head-to-toe
in clothes for messy exploring.

sided games. Buddy Ball is aptly named because our Riverside
Lions sign up with a sibling, peer, or mentor that will help assist
and motivate.

Reimbursement Policy for Special Needs Recreation
The V illage of Riverside Parks & Recreation is not a member of a
special recreation association, such as Gateway SRA. When a
Riverside resident is able to participate in a program offered by one of
these agencies, it is usually at a higher cost to them. The Riverside
Parks & Recreation Board has established a policy whereas the
difference between the member versus non-member fee will be
reimbursed to the participant providing the proper procedure is
followed. For further info regarding this policy, please call Ron
Malchiodi, Director of Parks & Recreation at 442-7025.
