About WVATSA Guide To Accessible Recreation in West Virginia
Introduction
Welcome to West Virginia!
West Virginia is fortunate to have many places across the state where individuals with special needs including children, older adults and individuals with disabilities can have fun! Information on these attractions can be obtained through various state agencies, but this Guide is an attempt to put as much information as possible in one place.
By encouraging sites across the state to complete and return surveys, information was collected, based on Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, to give both residents and visitors a tool to help identify recreation sites that can accommodate special needs. As you can see from the map, sites in 41 of 55 counties responded to the survey.
In addition to site listings, the Guide includes other information on travel in West Virginia, such as public and commercial transportation providers, medical equipment and supply vendors, and dialysis centers. The Guide does not include restaurants, hotels or individual businesses unless the site has achieved some distinction or is associated with a tourist destination point.
