Adaptive Recreation Showcase

This event will give YOU the opportunity to SEE, TRY, & BORROW a variety of adaptive recreation equipment. With plenty of paved, accessible space, extensive bike trails, accessible fishing dock and kayak launch, Ada Hayden Park is the perfect location to try things out.* If you find something that works well, you can take it home with you that day!*
 

We encourage you to bring friends and family. If you plan to try a handcycle, have them bring their bikes, so you can all go on a bike ride together. Already have a handcycle? Bring it and go for a ride.

Please RSVP Below

*WE CANNOT PROVIDE TRANSFER ASSISTANCE: If you need help transferring into a handcycle or kayak, please bring someone with you to assist. 

**WE CANNOT TRANSPORT EQUIPMENT: If you want to borrow any of the equipment, you must be able to transport it yourself.
