The Midtown Association is excited to announce a new season of Fresh Air: Midtown Parks, proudly presented by CADA, that runs weekday evenings from May through September 30. In partnership with Yoga Moves Us, the series of outdoor health and wellness activations are made possible by Midtown Parks, the 501(c)(3) arm of the Midtown Association.
Fresh Air: Midtown Parks offers a diverse range of classes, including Pilates, Strength & Conditioning, Tai Chi and Yoga. Designed to encourage an active and mindful lifestyle that supports a vibrant community, the health and wellness activations take place at four prized Midtown parks that include Fremont Park, Marshall Park, Sutter’s Fort State Historic Park, and Winn Park. These Midtown parks serve as accessible and inclusive spaces for community members to engage in outdoor activities and socialize with neighbors. The goals of the Fresh Air: Midtown Parks program are to promote health and wellness, create more active, inclusive green spaces, and foster community connection. The free nature of the programming ensures that everyone, regardless of income, has access and can participate.
Starting in May, the schedule of Fresh Air: Midtown Parks free activations is as outlined below. All classes run from 6-7 p.m., are free and open to the public, and no advance registration is required.
- Mondays at Marshall Park (915 27th Street) – Mat Pilates session featuring a low-impact, mind-body exercise method focusing on core strength, flexibility, and controlled movement to improve posture, balance, and overall physical awareness. Class attendees should bring a mat and a water bottle.
- Tuesdays at Fremont Park (1515 Q Street) – Yoga class with the backdrop of Fremont Park Bloom, to focus on physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation to enhance strength, flexibility, and mental well-being.
