About ESNL

Our vision is for a community where all people with disabilities live full, healthy and active lives. Our mission is to engage, inspire, and maximize opportunities for people with disabilities of all ages by providing meaningful programs and services.

We are a charitable organization that has operated in this province since 1937. Since then we have tirelessly dedicated ourselves to our Vision for our community. Approximately 100,000 people of all ages in our province live with disabilities such as physical, sensory, cognitive or other disabilities which present barriers to full participation in society. It is our objective to tear down these barriers and build an accessible and inclusive Newfoundland and Labrador.

Easter Seals NL Park – Phase III

Phase III will include constructing an outdoor rink/hardcourt surface area with team benches, transparent glass, ice-level doors, and an accessible viewing area with bleachers. It will also include a 2600-square-foot outbuilding used to store recreational and adaptive equipment for our Equipment Loan Program and Linda’s Equipment Crossing, which is free province-wide. Once fully constructed our park will be the biggest inclusive and accessible park East of Toronto. There are countless public green spaces and walking trails throughout St. John’s where many residents can enjoy the outdoors at no cost on their own time. Easter Seals NL simply wishes to extend this concept to be able to reach the disabled community, by creating a park that is truly for everyone.
