The days are getting cooler and shorter, but that doesn't mean we have to sacrifice exercise! Go for a hike in Alderfer/Three Sisters Park (you can drop the kids off at Playschool Fun Factory while you hike.) Run alongside Evergreen Lake (south side only, please - stay off the closed north portion and off Highway 74). Take a fitness class. Lift weights. Swim a few laps. Or just jump in a pile of leaves with the kids! With two state-of-the-art facilities to choose from, as well as countless trails and parks, EPRD can help you overcome any excuse not to stay in shape this season. Keep moving, with Evergreen Park & Rec District!
