Scholarships / Financial Assistance

City of Portland residents, regardless of age, who require financial assistance, can receive partial scholarships for Portland Parks & Recreation programs. Scholarship requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. If you need assistance, call 503.823.4328.

We are very fortunate in the City of Portland to have these great services in Portland Parks & Recreation, specifically Senior Recreation. Active seniors are healthy seniors. As we age it becomes easier to stay in and become a couch potato, complaining about our aches and pains. With such active programs as hiking, biking and other outdoor activities, one has opportunities to boost not only one’s physical self but also mentally and emotionally. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

INCLUSION SERVICES FOR PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS Within the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) provides accommodations to individuals with disabilities/special needs, so that they may receive an equal opportunity to participate in programs offered citywide.

How it Works 1. Choose the activity you would like to participate in, and then the PP&R site where the activity is being offered.

2. Register for the activity. You can do this in person at a PP&R site, or on-line at www.PortlandParks.org.

When registering, let the person know that you will need accommodations in order to participate in the activity (online, check the box.)

3. Once registered, please contact Inclusion Services at 503-823-4328. If this is your first accommodation through Inclusion Services you will need to do a phone intake with a staff member. At the end of the phone intake, it will be determined whether an assistant will be needed on the first day of the activity to provide on-site support. Future assistance will be provided based on need. The inclusion staff will work with the instructor on how to support you and your individual needs.

Important Details A general program may be adapted using auxiliary aids and services, but the basic structure of the program remains the same. Accommodations are made as needed, and can be flexible and creative. Participants need to register for activities that are intended for their birth age. Personal care is provided for activities in the pre-school and youth category, up through age 12.

If you have questions about Inclusion Services, please call 503-823-4328 V/TTY. A minimum of 10 business days (Monday-Friday) advance notice is required. The Inclusion Services staff will do their best to accommodate each participant.
