WHAT Fit Kids Playground has created a free program entitled “Playin’ In The Park”. The mission of this program is to help children ages 1 to 13 become more aware of a variety of different activities that they can do for exercise, thus encouraging them to become more physically active! Childhood obesity effects up to one in every five children in the United States with behavioral factors such as lack of exercise and unhealthy eating patterns as two of the most common causes of the childhood obesity epidemic. With a wide-variety of physical activities for children to demo and healthy snacks available to sample, Fit Kids Playground’s “Playin’ In The Park” is the perfect place to help Tampa Bay children and parents learn more about the We Can! messages of increasing physical activity and improving food choices.
WHEN “Playin’ In The Park” will be a free event every first Tuesday of the month from March through August, held in Downtown Tampa’s, Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park. Each month, we will be featuring lots of new activities and guests! We will offer new fun activities for kids because we know that keeping kids active is important and having fun doing this is even MORE important. Hula Hoops, jump ropes, bubbles and balls will be available for all kids to play with and enjoy! As always, Harbour Island Athletic Club will be our official activity sponsor.
Some examples of types of classes that they will be coordinating are as follows (and each month varies): Zumba, Fit Kids Boot Camp, Kids Yoga, Karate, Cheerleading, Step, Hip Hop, Gymnastics, Hula Hooping, etc. There are so many fun active activities for kids that all kids should be given the opportunity to try them out!
Downtown Kids Music Series Launchs in 2012
Each month we will also be featuring a new family concert series each month after Fit Kids Playground. The “Downtown Kids Music Series” will feature a local band that will play an outdoor family friendly concert at Curtis Hixon Park. Live music starts at 5pm to 7pm. Bring a picnic and come enjoy the park!

And after your done jumping, hula hooping, and practicing yoga, come and cool down in the fountains in our “cool down zone!” Sponsored By Magic 94.9
