DAD Paralympic Sports Zone for 2011

This year the sports zone will have a theme to include the 'Paralympics Games 2012'. The Paralympic Sport Zone at DAD will be bigger and better than ever with more activities planned. Activities this year include:

Climbing Wall

A climbing wall provided by Lister Logic ltd, the climbing wall will be held in the Paralympic sports zone to give people the opportunity to experience climbing. This year there will be a specific time slot set aside which will allow wheelchair users to try the wall and experience the thrill of climbing. The time allocated for wheelchair users is between 1:00pm and 2:30 pm.

Archery

Come and try archery! Archery is fun and exciting and offers people the chance to have a go at a skill that requires both concentration and accuracy.
