2026 Wellness Program

Ready to start that new 2026 Goal? You may want to speed up your walk, increase your mileage, or even try a little jogging. Sign up for this year’s Wellness Challenge. You will need to register by April 30th and log your miles each month to turn them in. Other activities can be converted to “miles”.
Emails, organized walks, and incentives will be offered throughout the year, with a final end-of-year prize for those who reach 365 or 500 miles. This is an honors system and a great way to stay motivated to enjoy exercising in our parks year-round.
This year’s fee to join the Challenge is $5.00 for Sylvania School Residents and $10.00 for non-residents. Registration includes one day of a free swim pass or boat rental.
