Fun& FREE Family Event at Mendakota Park!

The 19th annual Family Health & Fitness Day USA is a national health and fitness event for families with hands-on activities for all ages, set for Saturday, September 26, 2015. (always on the last Saturday in September.) The event’s purpose is to promote family involvement in physical activity, one of the goals of the U.S. Surgeon General’s Report on Physical Activity and Health. Local organizations throughout the country will host family-related health and fitness events at schools, park districts, hospitals, malls, health clubs and other community locations. Activities will be noncompetitive and may include walking events, low-impact exercises, health screenings, open houses, games and health information workshops.

Anytime Fitness and the City of Mendota Heights have come together to bring the community a day of outdoor fun! The event is free and open to the public, and will feature outdoor games for kids, drinks & snacks, challenges, group exercise classes, and other family-friendly happenings including Tug Of War. Other food items will be available for purchase. There’s something for guests of all ages and skill levels to enjoy during the day!
