Revere Parks and Recreation plans collaboration with Waypoint Adventures and Community Music Center

The Commission on Disabilities meeting held on April 8, 2025, in Revere, Massachusetts, focused on potential collaborations aimed at enhancing adaptive sports and music therapy programs for the community.

A key discussion point was the outreach to Waypoint Adventures, an organization known for its adaptive sports initiatives. A member of the commission expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of collaborating with Waypoint, highlighting their adaptive skiing programs and other activities. The commission member noted that Waypoint operates within their catchment area and is hopeful for a positive response to their invitation to speak at the May meeting. This collaboration could lead to live demonstrations of adaptive sports at Revere Beach, providing valuable opportunities for community engagement.

Additionally, the meeting included an update on the music therapy program in collaboration with the Revere Parks and Recreation Department. The commission received communication from Mitchell Chow, a community engagement clinical manager at the Community Music Center of Boston. Chow is working with the commission and the parks department to finalize arrangements for the center to serve as a vendor for the city, which would enhance the availability of music therapy services for residents.

These initiatives reflect the commission's ongoing commitment to improving accessibility and recreational opportunities for individuals with disabilities in Revere. The next steps include awaiting confirmation from Waypoint Adventures and further discussions with the Community Music Center of Boston to solidify their partnership.
