Since 1972, M-NASR has provided and facilitated recreation programs and services for children, teens and adults with disabilities. We are an extension of the park districts in Des Plaines, Golf-Maine, Morton Grove, Niles, Park Ridge and Skokie and Lincolnwood’s Parks and Recreation department.
M-NASR offers a wide range of recreation programming, both in person and virtual. Programs include athletics, adaptive sports, camps, cultural arts, social opportunities, special events, and much more. M-NASR's full-time recreation staff have therapeutic backgrounds and all programs are designed with the cognitive, psychological, social, and physical needs of participants in mind.
M-NASR programs are offered throughout our member districts. M-NASR participants are welcome to register for all programs regardless of location, and transportation is available to select participants. To view our latest program guide, click here.
Inclusion provides opportunities for individuals with disabilities to participate alongside their non-disabled peers in park district recreation programs. M-NASR works cooperatively with its member park districts to provide training and education to staff, as well as resources and reasonable accommodations to include individuals with disabilities registered for recreational programs they offer.
