Gwinnett County Parks and recreation is partnering with Georgia Blind Sports Association for a kickball day. This will be an adapted version of an old favorite game.
In Beep Kickball, blind players use a sound-emitting ball and are able to play the sport. Sighted players can participate as well by using a blindfold.
Events will take place at Shorty Howell Park on Saturday, June 8, from 9:00am-12:00pm.
The public is invited.
