Adams County will open a new rapid testing site at Riverdale Regional Park (9755 Henderson Rd., Brighton), starting Wednesday, Jan. 6. The site will operate Wednesdays through Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will be open through the end of March 2021. The previous rapid testing sites located throughout the county have all been consolidated into this one location. Registration is not required.

“Consolidating these sites into one location allows us to continue providing free rapid tests to

Adams County residents in one consistent location with more than ample space to conduct testing operations,” said Emma Pinter, Adams County Commissioner and Board Chair. “There is still a great need for testing in our community, and we want to ensure residents who need a free test can get one.”

In addition, the Water World testing site will remain open through March 2021. This site operates daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. with results available in two to four days. Registration is strongly encouraged for a faster experience at the site. Visitors can register here. For additional testing locations across Adams County and the metro area, visit Tri-County Health Department’s website.
