Northern Suburban
Special Recreation
Association (NSSRA)
provides and
facilitates year-round
recreation programs
and services for
children, teens and adults with disabilities who live in 13
northern suburban communities including Highland Park.
At NSSRA, play is the name of the game and we have the
market cornered. Itching to grab your cleats out of the closet
and get out on the mound? Got a pair of swim goggles to put
to good use? Or maybe you and the colored pencils are each
other’s better half. Whether you have a knack for sports, a flair
for artistry, or just want to have some fun, NSSRA is your place
to play!
NSSRA has nearly 600 recreation, sport, cultural, social, and
leisure offerings available throughout the year, creating new
experiences, opportunities for skill development, leisure time,
and perhaps most importantly, friendship.
Services We Offer
NSSRA serves over 1,500 individuals with disabilities through
our traditional and cooperative programs. Participants range in
age from preschoolers, youth and teens through young adults,
adults and seniors. Programs are offered at park district
facilities, schools and other locations throughout the northern
suburbs.
NSSRA’s Inclusion support option provides individuals with
disabilities the opportunity to enjoy full participation in partner
agency programs while receiving the individualized one-on-one
support they need to succeed. Through its programs and
services, NSSRA removes the barriers that might prevent an
individual with disabilities from full participation in the fun and
richness of experience that life has to offer. For information on
Inclusion services or to make arrangements for accommodation,
contact Highland Park's NSSRA Inclusion Liaison,
Jessie Blumberg, at (847) 579-4062 or [email protected].
