Nassau County Sports Commission


The Nassau County Sports Commission is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization created to enhance the quality of life of Nassau County, New York, residents through the promotion of physical fitness, healthy activity and positive sportsmanship to combat childhood obesity and performance-enhancing drug use within our community. The foundation of the Nassau County Sports Commission is community-wide health education and sports recognition.

The Nassau County Sports Commission is home to the Nassau County Sports Hall of Fame and the Dick Schaap Award for Outstanding Journalism.

Nassau County's elite high school and collegiate student athletes and coaches are honored annually at the Nassau County Sports Commission's "Salute to Champions" Awards Dinner where the above awards are also presented rounding into an all star recognition event for the community.

In Summer 2007, the Nassau County Sports Commission, working with Nassau County's "Healthy Nassau" initiative, installed a fitness trail in Eisenhower Park for use by Nassau County residents of all ages. These fitness stations will cover a two-mile walking path and promote physical activity while teaching residents how to maximize their physical fitness experience. In summer 2008, a new Nassau County Sports Commission fitness trail was installed in Wantagh Park. A third fitness trail in Nassau County can also be found in Christopher Morley Park.
