Default Handicap accessibility

We have an adult son who is a stroke victim and handicapped and now lives with us. I am surprised and very disappointed in the lack of handicapped equipped facilities here in this wonderful place. It is very difficult for a person on crutches or a walker or in a wheelchair to enter any rec center. None have electric doors! It's great that they have made the pools handicapped accessible but something needs to be done to make our rec centers handicap accessible. With our aging population, more and more of us need aids to get around. It just doesn't fit that our new health awareness doesn't insist on electronic doors.
