First Sunday Parkways Event Comes to St. Louis!

Yesterday Trailnet and Live Well Ferguson!  held the first Sunday Parkways event in the St. Louis area! Since the 1970s, cities in Latin America have been closing down streets to car traffic to provide a safe and fun environment for physical activity. In recent years the concept has become popular in the United States and Live Well Ferguson! decided to bring the concept to Ferguson for the first time.

Ferguson Sunday Parkways closes a .9 mile loop of neighborhood streets to car traffic to allow people to walk, bike, rollerblade, and do a host of other physical activities care-free.   Activities such as face-painting, aerobics classes, and hula-hooping are also stationed throughout Lang-Royce Park along the route.  

At yesterday's first Sunday Parkways, over 300 people were physically active and had fun!  We hope you will join us at the next Ferguson Sunday Parkways on September 27 and October 18, 2009 from 1-4 pm.
