The City Parks Foundation has announced that its six-week CityParks Seniors Fitness program will begin on Mon., September 22.

This year, Airbnb.com is a proud program sponsor.

“Every day, New York City parks provide a place for residents and visitors from all five boroughs and around the world to gather, be active, and experience all that this great city has to offer,” said Airbnb’s New York City Manager Wrede Petersmeyer. “The Airbnb community is committed to making New York a better place to live, work, and visit – and we are thrilled to support City Parks Foundation and all of the important resources they provide.”

The program is open to any and all seniors 60+ years old, and will offer free tennis lessons, yoga instruction and fitness walking, according to a recent announcement by the organization.

All program activities will take place once or twice per week at 14 parks around the city. As part of the citywide program, several parks in Queens will be hosting events.
