        Please spread the word about Rish Park: Florida's only park
specifically for people with disabilities
         
         
        

        Have a disability?
        Here is your "all-access pass" to fun in the sun!

William J. (Billy Joe) Rish Recreational Park, owned and operated by
APD, is about 100 acres of beautiful, sugar-white sand, sea-oat-covered
dunes, refreshing sea air, and shimmering turquoise water. Located on
the St. Joseph Peninsula near Port St. Joe and Cape San Blas in
Northwest Florida, the park is a fabulous getaway that is accessible for
people with disabilities. 

         Special ramps provide access to the beautiful beach on the Gulf
of Mexico.  Newly renovated boardwalks connect all the cabins to the
beach, event hall, and pool.  Even the Olympic-size swimming pool is
wheelchair accessible.  

Rish Park is open year round for people with disabilities and their
family members, guardians, and caregivers.  Take a few minutes to
explore this Web site and find out about everything Rish Park has to
offer!

        "The moral test of government is how that government treats
those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the
twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life,
the sick, the needy and the handicapped." 
        Hubert H. Humphrey
