Accessibility Statement

We want everyone who visits the Wheaton Park District website to feel welcome and find the experience rewarding.

What are we doing?

To help us make the Wheaton Park District website a positive place for everyone, we’ve been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user-friendly for everyone.

The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). We’ve chosen Level AA as the target for the Wheaton Park District website.

How are we doing?

We’re working hard to achieve our goal of Level AA accessibility, but we realize some areas still need improving. The following information explains what we’re doing to make that happen.
