The doors are open at J.E. and L.E. Mabee Adaptive Sports Complex at the Langham Creek Family YMCA, a facility designed especially for children with special needs.
The adaptive sports complex includes an accessible synthetic surface baseball field, a covered multipurpose pavilion, a barrier-free playground and plenty of green space for sports and outdoor play.
