Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Statement
Everyone deserves a chance to play and belong. We recognize that significant disparities exist for marginalized people in every aspect of society, including within our facilities, programs and services This is why we are dedicated to creating a space that celebrates, supports, and affirms, everyone from all backgrounds, abilities, and fitness levels. We are focused on eliminating barriers that prevent the full participation of historically excluded populations. We believe in treating everyone with respect and strive to provide recreational facilities, programs and services which are welcoming, accessible and equitable.
