Assessment Performed: Summer 2025
Mt. Pisgah Recreation Center is a multi-use recreation destination. Offering a variety of options for visitors including, in pertinent part, an event space, tennis and pickleball courts. There are no marked accessible parking spaces, and no clearly defined entrance for people with disabilities into the main building. While there is signage located at the beginning of the driveway up to the rear entrance to the main building, it notes that a reservation is required to use it. There is also a semi-portable restroom near the tennis courts that indicates accessibility, but access to the restroom is not ADA/ABA compliant.
The World War I Memorial section of the Center has no accessible approach. The stairway is not accessible, the slope on the lawn in front and that on the driveway to the right are too steep, with the concrete paver walkway traversing this area is in disrepair, even if there was an accessible route into the area.
Important: The front stairway (built in 2006 through an Eagle Scout project) to the main building is in disrepair, replete with various trip and fall hazards, including a partially protruding steel peg on the first step on the right side (see, Mt. Pisgah Recreation Center (107)). The tennis and pickleball courts themselves (excluding parking therefore) are ADA compliant.
Front of main building, nearly all steps pose some sort of hazard, from deep indentations, vegetation growth, slope and angle mismatches, and handrails that are rough and may subject users to splinters. World War I Memorial – Surface of concrete paver pathway poses a trip and fall hazard and is not ADA/ABA compliant.
