Join the Rosedale Walking Club....because we can't sit ourselves fit!

RDA and the Rosedale Healthy Kids Initiative have teamed up once again to offer Rosedale residents a chance to get healthy this summer. Generously supported by a Healthy Communities Wyandotte grant, the Rosedale Community Walking Club kicked-off at Fisher Park on June 2 with a visit from the Mayor and NBC Action News.

Mayor Reardon joined residents from the Fisher Park neighborhood and volunteers from around Rosedale in the park to speak about healthy communities and the importance of the health initiatives taking place in Rosedale. Cynthia Newsome from NBC Action News walked with the group and spoke to club participants about why they walk. Watch news coverage of the kick-off here.

The Healthy Communities Wyandotte grant will support the club and pay for improvements to park infrastructure, like new benches and lights. Eventually, the routes used in the club will be fitted with urban trail markers.

The club meets Tuesdays at 8 a.m. and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. at Fisher Park, which is located at the corner of Lake Avenue and Springfield Street in KCK.

Join us to get active this summer!
