Analysis of the questionnaire to the participants（ n = 759） proved the effect on fostering barrier-free mindset of the experience sessions. It became clear that growing interest in para-sports had a strong influence on fostering barrier-free mindset, that the evaluation of the venue also had a certain indirect effect, and that the para-sports experience was highly effective for the groups who are indifferent to disabilities. These results confirm that the Para-Sports experiences in public spaces have a certain effect in fostering barrier-free mindset.
