Wounded Warriors Abilities Ranch
The Wounded Warriors Abilities Ranch (WWAR) has been built to inspire veterans of all conflicts to get OUT and ACTIVE. We offer activities for all Military Veterans in need of a supportive and healing environment, to give a new sense of hope, resilience and strength as they move forward in their journey.
Our Non Profit offers a huge range of activities, workshops, clinics and events for all veterans and the adaptive sports community in the Tampa Bay Area.
In 2015 we partnered with the City of Pinellas Park to build WWAR at Lurie Park.
Lurie Park is a purpose built ADA City Park and is home to WWAR . It is a place for Wounded Warriors, Veterans, their families and the whole community to come and enjoy. The Park has been designed to support both the physical and emotional needs of Warriors with fitness and sports at its core.
We offer a wide variety of recreational activities at the Park and is furnished with specialist fitness equipment to build strength in both body and mind.
There are wide trails for hand cycling, walking and running, A pond for fishing , specially designed ADA Work Out stations and a large multi purpose sports court specifically designed for Wheelchair Sports and Events.
WWAR Adaptive Sports Programs offer Veterans and the Adaptive Sports community an opportunity to learn a new sport or return to a sport they love.
We offer monthly clinics on the 1st Thursday of every month at Lurie Park with world class instruction and a vibrant committed community for you to share your passion. WWAR also help sponsor our Adaptive Sports team – The Rolllin Warriors to train and compete on the national arena.
