Disability Services Programs

Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department welcomes persons with disabilities in all of our facilities, programs and events. 

We have programs exclusively for children and adults with disabilities run by Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists.

We also have an Inclusion Initiative in which we assist children and adults with disabilities in getting involved in typical programs not geared specifically for persons with disabilities. 

We are committed to continually working to make our wonderful park system accessible to everyone.  If you have a suggestion or complaint, please let us know by contacting us at 305-755-7848. 

Visiting Zoo Miami? Zoo Miami is wheelchair accessible, as are its monorail and trams too.  Manual wheelchairs are available for rent at $8 per day and a limited number of electric wheelchairs are available for rent at $30 per day.  If you or your group has special needs, please let us know and we will work with you to make your zoo visit as enjoyable as possible.  Please call the Group Sales Department at 305-251-0400.

For access information on individual parks and facilities, return to Home, and click on either "Find a Park Near You" or "Park Directory" on the home page of this site and look for the access symbol on that page.  If you do not find the information you are looking for, call Leisure Access Services at 305-755-7848, or you can also write us an email.
