Where Do I Go to Exercise?

1. Using the following list of parks and recreation districts and areas, research what is available in your neighborhood.
   
2. Create a publication (report, magazine, brochure, PowerPoint, webpage) that answers the following:

• What are the three park nearest to you?
  
• List the facilities (tennis courts, jogging trails, swimming pools, etc.) that are available
  
• Get the current brochure of classes offered. What is available for your age group? Young children if you are a parent? Young adults? Senior citizens? Tell about each group.
  
• How could you use the parks near you as part of your physical education?
