Since 1972, the Maine-Niles Association of Special Recreation (M-NASR) has provided and facilitated recreation programs and services for children, teens and adults with disabilities. M-NASR is an extension of the park districts in Des Plaines, Golf Maine, Morton Grove, Niles, Park Ridge, Skokie and Lincolnwood’s Parks and Recreation Department. M-NASR helps individuals with disabilities in these communities and beyond to access engaging recreation and leisure opportunities. Our programs encourage and enable participants to learn a new skill, work on mastering an activity or sport, spend time in the company of friends. Unknown Image
