The Division of State Parks and Recreation's Universal Access Program is dedicated to providing outdoor recreation opportunities in Massachusetts State Parks for visitors of all abilities. Accessibility to our State Parks is achieved through site improvements, specialized adaptive recreation equipment, and accessible recreation programs. We invite you to use this as a guide to discover the most accessible parks and forests that offer the recreation opportunities you seek. Please contact our office for copies of this in alternate formats.
