Our Story
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 Programs
M-NASR offers a wide range of recreation programming, including athletics, adaptive sports, camps, cultural arts, social opportunities, special events, virtual programs and much more. M-NASR’s full time recreation staff have therapeutic recreation 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 programs.

M-NASR Inclusion Services
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.
