Pease Park Conservancy is happy to partner with Austin Youth Fitness to bring FREE youth fitness classes to Pease Park!
Join Austin Youth Fitness for a sample of their kids biking program! Bikers will become familiar with bicycle safety, learn the rules of the road, and will gain strength in their biking ability. For the Free Saturday event, participants will adventure from Pease Park down the Shoal Creek Trail approximately 1-2 miles, then back to the park for a fun finish! This is for experienced bikers ages 7 to 11, who can start, stop, and maneuver with control, and are comfortable going up and down hills. Participants will need their own bike and helmet.
About AYF: Grounded in child development principles and best practices in physical education, our programs emphasize children's holistic health - physical, mental, emotional, and social. We teach kids the "Fitness FUNdamentals," and they learn sport specific skills, while also developing active-lifestyle habits and improving their overall fitness and health. Most importantly, children learn that FITNESS IS FUN, and having fun is vitally important to health too!
Getting To Kingsbury Commons:
We highly recommend alternate forms of transportation such as public transportation, walking, biking, ride-sharing or carpooling if this is an option for you. If driving make sure to arrive early enough to find parking as spots are limited. There is a small parking lot in front of Kingsbury Commons and street parking is available on Parkway between Kingsbury Street and Lamar Blvd.
Throughout the week, additional FREE parking is available at the Austin Recreation Center (1301 Shoal Creek Blvd) and on weekends between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm, FREE parking can also be found at the ACC Rio Grande Parking Garage (816 W. 12th Street). Both of these options connect to Pease Park by a 5-minute walk along the Shoal Creek Greenbelt Trail.
