The Greenburgh Parks and Recreation Department, in cooperation with the New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities, offers a variety of recreation programs for persons with developmental disabilities. Developmental disabilities include intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and other neurological impairments.  

The Town has made a progressive step in providing programs and services for individuals with developmental disabilities. Under the Department of Parks and Recreation, a full-time Director of Special Recreation, Noel Broccoli, administers and coordinate activities for residents who are disabled in the unincorporated area of Greenburgh and the incorporated Villages of Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Elmsford, Hastings, Irvington, and Tarrytown.  The Director is the Recreation Inclusion Officer for all concerns regarding disabilities.  
 
 The Town and the six incorporated Villages have entered into an inter-municipal agreement to share facilities and resources for providing therapeutic recreation activities for our developmentally disabled residents.
