NASR Programs

Northlands Association for Special Recreation (NASR) is a cooperative partnership between the Rockford, Freeport and Belvidere Park Districts (referred to as a member districts).

NASR programs are open to any individual with disability-related needs.

Member district residents are invited to participate in specialty/ therapeutic recreation (TR) programs offered through any member district at the resident rate. Participation in inclusion services at a member district other than your own member district dictates you must pay the non-resident rate for that specific program.

NASR Programs

If you would like specific program information, please contact Belvidere and Freeport Park districts directly.
