Description:
On March 15, 2010 the Department of Justice adopted the long-awaited revisions to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to include recreation facilities. The new standards for Title II and Title III officially published in the Federal Register on September 14, 2010, becoming mandatory for all new construction and alteration of existing facilities on March 15, 2012. This session will explore the minimum requirements of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design for recreation facilities including parks and play areas and will provide tools to help evaluate the level of compliance of community play areas to plan for future needs.

Learning Objectives:
