GOOD FOR THE BODY, AND THE MIND DANCE BASH AT MT. TRASH brought fitness outdoors, as one of a series of new, free fitness classes held at Mount Trashmore. The fitness team also hosted classes for the NRPA Family Health & Fitness Day in June and new classes at the Fitlot at Williams Farm Park. Indoor fitness at all seven recreation centers is also on the rise. Membership numbers, fitness class attendance and overall recreation center scans are all returning close to pre-pandemic figures.
In a new partnership, the Mobile 757 Food Pantry visits Seatack Recreation Center twice-monthly to distribute fresh fruits, vegetables and pantry items to community members in need. To boost health and wellness for our four-legged friends (and their humans), Pup Ups were held at dog parks across the city throughout the year. The Students on the Swim program also bounced back this year, with thirteen public schools and 1,012 students participating.
