The City of Reno welcomes the opportunity to provide accommodations to patrons with disabilities so that full participation in leisure and recreation programs, classes, services and facilities may be enjoyed by all. The PRCS staff will provide reasonable modifications on a case-by-case, individualized basis including, but not limited to, training of staff, additional staff supervision for the group, transfer and lifting assistance, use of adaptive equipment owned by the city, consultation with other professionals and taking other steps to ensure a safe and enjoyable leisure experience. Patrons with disabilities are encouraged to bring a companion with them for assistance at no extra charge or program fee in lieu of an additional PRCS staff member.

Successful participation and modifications will only succeed with the commitment of the PRCS staff and the participants. Patrons are asked to notify the PRCS department staff regarding any and all reasonable modifications necessary for participation at least two full working days prior to the start of a program. However, in some cases the PRCS may need more time to make a reasonable modification. Two weeks notification prior to the start of a program is appreciated. The City of Reno wants to provide a safe and enjoyable environment and will strive to do this cooperatively with all patrons.

IMPORTANT: Before we deny, exclude, or limit anyone's access, we should first try to include him or her in PRCS programs, activities, services, and classes. The process stated below is used by the PRCS staff to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities. This process may be deviated from in extraordinary circumstances or when deemed necessary by staff. The City of Reno reserves the right to take any and all steps necessary, at any time, to ensure the safety and fundamental nature of its programs, classes, or activities.
