Active Living in Decatur

Decatur Active Living had an activity and fun filled weekend!

Friday morning started off with our annual Bike To Work Breakfast in front of the Decatur Recreation Center. Lots of bike commuters stopped by for treats, information on cycling in Decatur and information from the Georgia Commute Options folks and the ladies from the East Decatur Greenway.

On Friday night, we held the Third Friday Fun Bike Ride and had a great time touring Decatur neighborhoods as well as making some new bike riding friends.

Saturday was filled with the Dedication of the Beacon Municipal Complex. We had visitors from all over the country as well as current Decaturites. There were even some of the past students from Herring Street School and Trinity High School. Visitors enjoyed “splits” as well as tours of the three buildings.

On the athletic front, we had Parent Baseball Meetings at Decatur Recreation. Decatur Active Living 2015 Spring Youth Soccer is coming to an end. DAL would like to thank all the coaches, parents and players for contributing to the success of the program.

Youth Soccer had a great season.

Saturday was also National Kids to Park Day and DAL participated in the Garden Go Seek Your Park activity at both Scott Park and Glenlake Park. Visitors toured Scott Garden and had an opportunity to speak with gardeners and Master Gardeners about their garden plots.
