Rancho Bernardo's Parks Fit Programs
Every Friday from June 17th till August 12th we will have a free Stretching Class followed by a Walk the park with Staff program. We will lead you through a series of stretches designed to improve your flexibility and performance and decrease your chances of injury. Then we will take the group 2 times around the 1 mile marked path that goes through our 32 acre park with views of Battle & Bernardo Mountains. These programs are to help complete the larger goal of the Parks Fit Program which is to walk, run, roll, or swim 30 miles between June 13th and August 13th. Sign up for Parks Fit and let Rancho Bernardo Recreation Center be your Parks Fit Headquarters.
