New Adaptive Program Center at Jefferson County Fairgrounds Provides Accessible Sports and Recreational Opportunities for Individuals with Disabilities”.

The National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD) recently opened a new Adaptive Program Center at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds in Colorado. The center celebrated its opening with a Field Day event, attended by over 100 students from Aurora Public Schools, along with representatives from The Hartford, Move United, Jefferson County Officials, and Denver Broncos alumni.

Julie Taulman, president and CEO of the NSCD, expressed that the new program center provides a convenient location for people to experience outdoor activities in a safe environment. The center offers 100 acres of land with easy access to trails, where they will offer a variety of programs and lessons throughout the spring, summer, and fall seasons. The goal is for participants to engage in different sports and activities, socialize with others, and become active all year round.

During the Field Day event, students had the opportunity to participate in various activities such as an obstacle course, archery, and trying out adaptive cycles. The NSCD received a $50,000 grant from The Hartford to purchase new adaptive cycles for the launch of a new adaptive cycling program.

The NSCD Adaptive Program Center aims to provide accessible sports and recreational opportunities for individuals with disabilities of all ages and abilities. With state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, the center offers programs such as wheelchair basketball, adaptive swimming, seated volleyball
