📸 PARD Pic of the Week! 🌿

This week’s photo comes from Sarah Mozingo, who has recently started bringing her outdoor yoga classes to PARD! 🧘‍♀️☀️

We love seeing our green spaces become places for movement, connection, and a little time to breathe. And judging by this photo, Sarah and her participants are doing exactly that! 💚

Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your class with us and helping people enjoy PARD in a whole new way. 🌳✨

Throwback Thursday 📸

For this week’s , we’re taking it all the way back to 2012 with a little PARD cheerleading throwback! These young cheerleaders were bringing the spirit, the smiles and probably a whole lot of “5, 6, 7, 8!” to the park. 🎀

Fast forward 14 years, and a new generation of PARD youth cheerleaders has officially hit the practice floor! They’re getting ready to cheer on our football teams when the season kicks off September 12. 🏈📣

Here’s to the memories, the traditions and all the little cheerleaders who have helped keep PARD spirit alive through the years!

🌧️☔
It may be soggy outside today, but that doesn’t mean your plans to get moving have to wash away! 💪💚

Here’s what’s happening at PARD today:

💃 5:30–6:30 PM | Zumba with Sheron
🎶 6:30–7:30 PM | Zumba with Tiffany

And if the rain has you thinking, “Guess I’m skipping my walk today…” we have another idea. 👀

🚶‍♀️ Take it indoors! Our indoor walking track is the perfect place to get your steps in while staying dry. No puddles, no soggy shoes, no dodging raindrops. Just walk! ☔➡️🚶‍♀️

So grab your sneakers and make PARD your rainy-day destination. You can walk it out, dance it out, or do both!

Because around here, the weather doesn’t get the final say. 😉💚
