From our friends at the Monday Campaigns:
Ready to #MoveItMonday?
Being outside can greatly contribute to your health and wellbeing. On Monday, try visiting a park for a fresh perspective on your workout.
According to studies, parks are beneficial. They promote physical activity, improve mental health, and even have the potential to reduce health care costs. Being outside also means your vitamin D levels will increase, you might be happier, and your concentration levels may improve.
Be sure to visit one of Decatur’s many parks and greeenspaces. Click here to find one near your home. Did you know that there is adult outdoor fitness equipment at McKoy Park?

Are you familiar with the Glenn Creek Nature Preserve, right here in Decatur? Have you visited before? If not, now is your chance! Join members of the Pedestrian Committee on Sunday, October 15, at 2 pm.
Decatur Active Living’s October Third Sunday Stroll will be led by Neil Norton, who is an ISA-certified arborist. He founded Glenn Creek Nature Preserve and will tell us all about it as we enjoy a walk through the area.
Located between Glennwood Estates and Decatur Heights, Glenn Creek Nature Preserve is a two-acre bio-reserve of native Piedmont habitat maintained by neighbors and owned by the City of Decatur. Glenn Creek (formerly Hunter’s Branch) runs through the property and is part of the South Fork Peachtree sub-watershed.
Meet in front of the Decatur Recreation Center at 2 pm and walk over as a group to the preserve. Parking is available in the Library parking deck (Decatur Rec shares the deck with them). Contact Kimberly Head Amos (404-550-4323) for more information.

Decatur Recreation Center and Ebster Recreation Center will be closed for the Memorial Day Holiday and reopen on Tuesday, May 31.
Please stay cool in one of the City’s three pools, or visit one of our many parks and green spaces.
Did you know that there is a great green space, Sycamore Park, on Sycamore Street just east of the Recreation Center, between Commerce and Ponce de Leon? It provides a great space to play and run around. Take a picnic and enjoy your day!
