FREE Weekday Walking is on Mondays – Fridays from 8:30-10:30 a.m. in the City Gym until the end of March. Walking is one of the best exercises for all age groups and has many health benefits. If you can spare fifteen minutes daily for walking, it will help you maintain a healthy weight. But in many places, the weather is unfavorable for many months, forcing people to remain indoors. That is why the Parks Department has decided to open the city gym FREE of charge to any adult who would like to get some exercise during the cold months. Participants can enter through the glass door on the West side of the building and sign in on the wooden door each day they attend. If you are the last to leave the gym, please turn off the light in the southwest corner. 1 Mile = 20 laps
FREE Farm Wagon — The Community Harvest Farm Wagon visits Bluffton every Tuesday at 9 a.m. to give FREE fresh food to needy families at the Life Community Church South parking lot (428 S Oak St.) Please enter the parking lot at the south entrance off Oak Street and park facing North.
FREE Toddler Time — The Bluffton City Gym will be open every Tuesday and Thursday from 11-noon for you to bring your tots and burn off some energy. (October – March) This free drop-in program will allow young children to play with others their age in a large open space. Balls will be available in the storage closet at the East end of the gym when we hear the children arrive. Please note that this is not a staff-facilitated event, and parents are responsible for their children. Our next special activity will be on February 1st with a Tot Block Party. Please sign in on the wooden door each visit and turn off the gym lights if you are the last to leave.
FREE Open Gym — Supervised activities will be held all winter until March 14 in the Bluffton City Gym for school-aged kids K-12 grades. All participants MUST fill out a parental permission slip (either the first day they attend or print one off and send it in with them from the city’s website at https://blufftonindiana.net/wpcontent/uploads/2023/08/Open-gym-registration-Waiver-form-2024-1.pdf. Days and hours vary but are currently scheduled for Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, 3:30-6 p.m.
