About this Event

Join us for a free dance class led by Fit4Dance as we soft launch a new wellness program at White Playground on Friday, August 21st from 4-6PM!

Community leaders and stakeholders at White Playground – known as Community Champions – have engaged with community members to see what kinds of programming they'd like to see! Based on months of collecting community feedback, the team landed on a health and wellness program that promotes community togetherness.

Not only is this an opportunity to get up and active, but also a way to see old friends and meet new ones! We hope to see new and familiar faces there!

This event is completely free as part of the SPARCS initiative, bringing community-driven activities to your neighborhood. Free drinks and snacks will be available for participants!

About SPARCS: The Supporting Parks and Revitalizing Communities Study (SPARCS) is a citywide initiative that looks at how park programming created and designed by community members impacts resident health and wellbeing. This project is a joint initiative between the CUNY School of Public Health and 3x3, along with support from the Partnership for Parks.

SPARCS Goals: At its core, SPARCS examines how community-led activations in neighborhood parks can boost health-related outcomes. The study focuses on mental health and well-being indicators— such as anxiety, stress, and loneliness—as well as social and physical well-being measures.
