As an avid swimmer, Dwayne regularly visits the pool run by the City’s Department of Parks & Rec.  He discovered construction was underway at the pool and found all the accessible parking spaces were blocked off leaving him without a nearby place to park.

Dwayne decided to reach out to his ADA Regional Center for assistance. The Center’s TA specialist discussed parking alternatives and temporary interruptions and suggested he contact his city’s ADA Coordinator.

The ADA Coordinator got in touch with the pool’s facility manager and administrator.  After the pool’s officials understood their responsibilities to provide accessible parking they moved the accessible spaces to a lot on the other side of the pool, allowing Dwayne accessible parking.

“I appreciate having this resource to help people with access issues,” Dwayne said. Thanks To The ADA and the guidance of the ADA Regional Center’s TA specialist Dwayne was able to continue swimming regularly despite the construction.
