Recreation department expands inclusive programs: Journey League basketball, wheelchair basketball planning
Summary
Staff described inclusive recreation offerings under the Promise program including Journey League basketball, special‑needs baseball and plans for wheelchair basketball; school gym partnerships and volunteers support programming.
Susan (S5) said the department has been expanding inclusive programming: Journey League basketball and special‑needs baseball will begin in the coming weeks, using school gym space when city facilities are constrained. "This is called the Journey League basketball program. It's part of our Promise program," S5 said, noting volunteers and partner schools help host activities.
S5 added the department is working with a contact on wheelchair basketball and that special‑needs activities will be scheduled across sites to serve a range of participants. Committee members responded positively and staff said they will continue to coordinate volunteers and facilities.
