Connecting Communities to Health & Wellness
¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ programs and facilities redefine our parks as health hubs within your community, providing opportunities for all Chicagoans to adopt healthy lifestyles. Parks are critical to the overall health and vitality of our city and the millions of families, residents, and vistors who look to us to provide services and experiences that improve their quality of life.
The ¿ì²¥ÊÓƵ wellness division promotes, educates, and motivates Chicagoans of all ages and abilities to adopt a healthy lifestyle through movement and nutrition. Take a fitness or nutrition class, work out in a fitness center or at an outdoor fitness course, swim at a pool, shoot hoops at a gym or outdoor court, take a walk in the park, and so much more. Enjoy an active and healthy lifestyle in the parks!
