Therapeutic Recreation
Therapeutic Recreation programs provide individuals with various abilities to participate in leisure activities. Participants will gain new experiences and have opportunities for social engagement in a supportive, safe environment with experienced staff.
Programs are designed for participants with various special needs, but individuals without special needs are welcome to participate too! The activities are presented so that participants will be able to understand, become involved and enjoy recreation experiences. A strong emphasis on social skills is included. Participants must have safe behavior, be able to follow simple instructions, stay with a small group and be independent with toileting and feeding.
For more information about programs or to discuss a participant's specific needs, please contact Therapeutic Coordinator, Barbara Costello bcostello@cheshirect.gov.
TR Theatre Under the Stars
This inclusive theatre program was created in a space where every voice matters, every effort is valued, and every success — big or small — is celebrated. With guidance, drama rehearsals will be filled with laughter, growth, friendship, and moments of bravery as performers step outside their comfort zones to shine on stage. Everyone is welcome to join!
Inclusive theatre is about more than performance. It builds confidence, communication skills, self-expression, and meaningful connections. The program will culminate in a performance in the Bandshell at Bartlem Park on July 30.

TR Walking Club
Need to increase your movement? Want to hang out with friends? We walk at Bartlem Park’s paved trails that are easy for all walking abilities to utilize. The group pace of 1.5-2 miles per session is super approachable, and the “walk and talk” vibe is a great way to stay active without it feeling like a workout. Walking outdoors has it’s own benefits such as reducing stress and mental fatigue. Don’t miss out, join the fun.
