Adaptive & Specialized Recreation

The Parks District strives to provide enjoyable adaptive and specialized recreational activities for individuals with disabilities. However, all other Recreational activities are open to individuals with disabilities, and the Adaptive & Specialized department can help facilitate that process.

We offer:

  • Adaptive Pottery
  • Low-Sensory Swim Lessons
  • Community Outings & Social Gatherings
  • Adaptive Yoga and Personal Training and more!
Hippocampe Wheelchair Rental

The Hippocampe Beach and All-terrain wheelchair accompanies you through your outdoor activities. Enjoy hikes in the mountains or through forests, get your feet wet, or stroll along sandy beaches; you can even trek through snow-covered terrain.

Wherever your outdoor passions take you, the Hippocampe chair will make adventures in nature more accessible.

The Hippocampe chair rentals are free of charge for Kitsap County residents, courtesy of the Kitsap County Accessible Communities Advisory Committee. For rental information, contact Cody Ogren at codyogren@biparks.org.

Inclusion/Accessibility Services

The Park District remains committed to providing inclusive recreational opportunities and supporting members of our community with special needs. We request at least two weeks’ notice before the first activity meeting to determine whether reasonable accommodation is possible. Although the District will make every reasonable effort to meet your needs, only some accommodation requests can be granted.

To inquire about inclusion services or request additional support, please get in touch with Cody Ogren at 206.842.5661 ext. #107 or codyogren@biparks.org.
