Since 1993, The Valley Therapeutic Recreation Center has been located
at North Hollywood Recreation Center, 11430 Chandler Blvd., with
a small office in the Senior Citizens building and an annex building
approximately 50' by 30' with 2 rooms, kitchen, restrooms, and a
small storage room.
The Valley Therapeutic Recreation Center operates
differently from the other Therapeutic Recreation Center's because
it not only offers therapeutic recreation programming at its own
facility, but also provides programming at Balboa Sports Center,
Chatsworth Recreation Center, Northridge Recreation Center, and
other communities of the San Fernando Valley.
Their own building
is primarily utilized for licensed Adult Care Programs, serving
the developmentally disabled adult and senior citizen, however,
they do serve children and teens in some of their seasonal programs
and special events. It has been serving the needs of individuals
with disabilities for over 25 years and currently has 16 year round
programs, seasonal programs, and annual special events. All of their
clients are people with mental or physical disabilities.
Valley Therapeutic offers wheelchair sports in hockey, rugby and
basketball, bowling for those with and without disabilities, adult
day care and special bowling tournaments for those with disabilities.
Senior citizens at the Valley Therapeutic Recreation Center hosted
inter-generational parties for children with disabilities.
The City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks Valley
Therapeutic Recreation Center is a division of the Citywide Services
Section.
