Inclusion Services

The City of Pleasanton’s Recreation Department welcomes and encourages individuals of all abilities to participate in its programs and activities.

Inclusion is the process of providing supports, adaptations and modifications to ensure that individual needs and desires for participation are met in ways that are reasonable, safe and do not fundamentally alter the nature of the program or activity. If you or your child are in need of inclusion services in order to participate in a program or activity, please complete the Accommodation Request Form.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was conceived with the goal of integrating people with disabilities into all aspects of life. The City of Pleasanton has also adopted a policy to “promote facilities and activities that accommodate community and family use and accommodate persons of all physical abilities.” We welcome and look forward to your participation.

Community Grants

The City provides a Community Grant Program for non-profit organizations serving Pleasanton residents in the area of arts, culture and youth programs. The mission of the program is to enhance the quality of life in Pleasanton. Eligible organizations are encouraged to submit an application for either the Civic Arts or Youth Commission’s review.

The Commissions make funding recommendations to the Pleasanton City Council. Interested organizations are encouraged to review the Community Grant Application Packet for eligibility, criteria and requirements.
