At the Greater Huntington Park & Recreation District (GHPRD), we are dedicated to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. Our belief in the fundamental rights of all people to dignity, equality, comfort, and independence drives our commitment to creating an inclusive digital experience.

Our Accessibility Standards

GHPRD follows the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 and PDF/Universal Accessibility (PDF/UA) standards to ensure our website is ADA-compliant and user-friendly.

Accessibility Features of GHPRD.org

Here are some of the ways we meet and exceed accessibility standards:

  • Descriptive Alt Text: Meaningful images on our site include descriptive alt text for screen readers.
  • Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable without a mouse, allowing users to explore content using only a keyboard.
  • Text Transcripts: All video and audio content is accompanied by text transcripts for better accessibility.
  • High Contrast: We maintain a minimum text-to-background color contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for readability.
  • Predictable Layout: Consistent and predictable design ensures ease of navigation for all users.
  • Accessible Third-Party Content: We link only to external resources and tools that meet WCAG 2.0 AA standards.

Additionally, we regularly evaluate and improve our website through internal reviews and independent audits to maintain best practices in accessibility.

Ongoing Commitment

Our work to improve accessibility is ongoing. We view this as a shared responsibility and a moral obligation to ensure unhindered access for all. Our efforts go beyond compliance with Title I, II, & III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Sections 504 & 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. We aim to exceed these standards to create a truly inclusive digital experience.

Addressing Accessibility Challenges

Despite our best efforts, some areas of our website may not yet fully meet the strictest accessibility standards due to technological limitations. If you encounter any accessibility issues or require assistance, we encourage you to contact us.
