Keep your facility safe
Until now, accessibility standards concerning new recreation areas have been implemented on a voluntary basis. This may no longer be the case with the implementation of the proposed regulations for new recreational facilities, as adherence to accessibility design guidelines may now become mandatory. These areas include play areas, swimming pools, saunas and steam rooms, boating facilities, wading pools, golf courses, miniature golf facilities, fishing piers, and amusement rides. The DOJ is considering reducing the requirements for those existing facilities, although the extent of retrofitting requirements is yet to be determined by the DOJ’s Final Ruling.
