Homer Steps Up is a FREE annual community walking challenge for the Southern Kenai Peninsula. Every May, track your daily walks with your smartphone, wearable fitness tracker, or pedometer to win prizes and incorporate more movement into your routine.
Every Wednesday, we're giving $50 in Homer Bucks to 10 walkers who averaged 7,500+ daily steps. Then, the 3 teams with the highest average daily steps over the four weeks will receive $100-500 to donate to their Homer organization of choice.
Find more info and a link to sign up at HomerStepsUp.com!
This is an open playgroup for parents/guardians to bring their young ones* to a great big open space and let them run around and play. Bring your own toys or play with what SPARC has provided (no pedal bikes w/ brakes allowed at this time, only strider bikes & scooters). This class is available Mondays, Wednesdays & Saturdays from 10-11:30am (unless a special event interferes). Cost is $4.00 per child.* This means toddlers not in kindergarten, or not of school-age yet (~5 yrs. old & younger) -- older siblings are allowed but need to be careful of the littles!
***Please bring a pair of clean indoor shoes for you & your child to change into (in the entryway). Thank you for helping to keep our new floor looking good!***
