About
See Adaptive Sports Festival this weekend.
The eighth annual Adaptive Sports Festival lets visitors try multiple adaptive sports in one free public session at Brookside Park. The range is the draw: archery, wheelchair rugby, basketball, pickleball, and tennis are all named by the city, making this useful for curious first-timers as well as experienced adaptive athletes.
What to expect
Arrive early enough to use the full five-hour window, then choose activities by interest rather than trying to follow a fixed program. Start with the sport you most want to try, and leave room to compare a court activity such as wheelchair rugby or basketball with archery or tennis. The event is presented by the City of Pasadena with the Triumph Foundation at Brookside Park, and it is open to the public without an admission charge.
