Join Universal Access Program and Spaulding Adaptive Sports Centers for some cool summer skating at Porrazzo Memorial Rink in E. Boson. Then enjoy a waterfront barbeque next door on Constitution Beach (courtesy of FMC Ice Sports).
Use your wheelchair, an ice sled, a skate walker, ice grippers, or conventional skates on the ice. Spin, slide and play gently competitive games! There will be pucks and colorful balls to shoot around, obstacle courses, races, and a tower of blocks to crash down!
