ADA Assessment and Transition Plan
Bristol Parks, Recreation, Youth and Community Services (BPRYCS) is conducting an ADA Assessment and developing a transition plan for all parks and facilities in alignment with our strategic plan and goal to increase accessibility and access.
Aligned with our commitment to ensuring every resident
has access to high-quality parks and services; an emphasis on
diversity, equity and inclusion fosters inclusive and welcoming
environments. This is achieved through investment and
improvements to the accessibility of our physical spaces,
development of services that are reflective of a diversity of needs and
interests, and through creation of strategic approaches that engage,
involve, and amplify the voices of underserved residents.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?
"The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law in 1990. The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in many areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and many public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. The ADA gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications." Learn More
