Accessible Recreation in Delaware

Social activities and recreation are a very important part of everyone’s life. Whether you have the ability to move freely on your own or you need some level of support, you can choose to participate in a full range of recreational and leisure activities in your community. Adaptive equipment offers more opportunities than ever before to fully participate in the community. Use the links on the left to find out more about recreational opportunities in Delaware. If you are involved in an activity that isn't included here, please email Terri Hancharick at terrih@udel.edu to add your program.

The National Center on Physical Activity and Disability is an excellent resource (www.ncpad.org/disability). Their website has fact sheets on many disabilities and information on how to design a fitness program specifically meeting the needs of people with that disability.

Recreation can help you feel included with your family and community. Making yourself more visible in the community will help others to see you as your friends and family do. Find something fun to do and get active!
