As the days grow shorter and the temperature drops, it’s easy to let health and wellness take a backseat. However, staying active and prioritizing your well-being during the winter months is more important than ever. At the Champaign Park District, we’re here to help you embrace the season with resources and activities that keep your body and mind thriving.
Stay Active Indoors
Cold weather is no excuse to hibernate! Check out the Leonhard Recreation Center or the Martens Center for open gym time, fitness classes, or a quick workout. Whether you’re new to fitness or a seasoned pro, our programs and facilities are designed to suit all ages and abilities.
Mindful Wellness
Don’t forget to take care of your mental health this winter. Try a yoga class with us to relax and recharge or take 10 minutes to write down 5 things you’re grateful for. Taking time for mindfulness can help combat seasonal stress and keep your spirits bright.
Enjoy the Outdoors
Bundle up and explore our beautiful parks and trails! A brisk winter walk is a great way to enjoy the crisp air while boosting your mood and energy levels. For even more fun, grab a sled and head to one of our hills and live out your childhood days!
Stay warm by layering up and wearing waterproof boots for extra comfort.
New Year, New Hobby!
Winter is a great opportunity to explore new hobbies! Try your hand at pottery, grab a pickleball paddle, or dive into one of our drawing or painting programs. Staying creative and active is a fantastic way to keep your mind sharp and connect with new friends.
Stay Social
Staying connected is essential for wellness, especially during the colder months. Join us at one of our community events, crafted to bring people together and brighten your winter days.
