Our adaptive Open Gym is reinventing the way people play. Disability or not, Open Gym invites you and your family to come play in a “Different Pair of Shoes.” As we like to say; “Not disABLED sports, wheelchair sports.” Join us for a fun-filled night of activities and games, from wheelchair basketball to sitting volleyball, goal ball to tennis, we adapt all kinds of sports and games.
Volunteers are needed to help unload the sports wheelchairs from the trailer, set chairs up, check participants in and then load the trailer. In between tasks, volunteers are encouraged to play together with family and friends.

Red Arrow Park RampUp Event
We'll be serving hot chocolate and skating TOGETHER at Red Arrow Park. Volunteers can help with set-up, serving hot chocolate, helping participants check out ice sleds and get them onto the rink. Ice sleds offer another way to enjoy the ice when traditional skates aren't the right fit. This event is weather dependent. You can check for updates on our Facebook page or contact Cay Landowski.
Note: In partnership with Milwaukee County Parks and The Ability Center, Red Arrow Park has free ice sled rental during the winter season.
Event date:
February 18: 1:00-4:00pm (arrive for set-up 12:30pm)
