Under what condition are private facilities exempt from ADA accommodation requirements?

Private facilities are exempt from ADA accommodation requirements when they do not allow any public play. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) stipulates that public accommodations must be accessible to individuals with disabilities. Since a private facility that restricts access exclusively to members does not serve the public at large, it does not fall under the same guidelines that apply to public facilities. This exemption is designed to recognize the nature of private clubs and organizations that operate solely for their members without a public component.

While other conditions mentioned, such as allowing limited public play or charging a membership fee, do not intrinsically exempt a facility from ADA requirements; in fact, they may increase the likelihood that the facility is seen as accessible. Similarly, having fewer than 50 members does not inherently exempt a private facility from ADA compliance since the key factor is whether the facility is open to the general public.
