Healthy Menifee, the City's new wellness program, recently introduced the Geoff Lang Fitness Course and the S.A.F.E. (Seniors Active & Fit Enrichment) program, both at Lazy Creek Park.
The outdoor fitness course includes five different stations with exercise equipment that accommodates a variety of physical abilities, and a new, quarter-mile walking trail around Lazy Creek Park, offering a safe place to exercise. The outdoor fitness equipment meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for accessibility and is available for use by all Menifee residents during park hours, which are from sunrise to sunset.
Menifee's S.A.F.E program for the 55 and better community features a walking program, a fitness program where participants can track progress and a gardening/healthy eating program. Information for S.A.F.E activities is available online at www.cityofmenifee.us or at the Kay Ceniceros Senior Center.
In March 2016, Menifee Valley Health Systems awarded the City of Menifee Community Services Department a $50,000 grant to begin the Healthy Menifee program. In addition to the outdoor fitness course and the S.A.F.E. program, grant funds are being used to install ADA accessible ramps, improving accessibility to Lazy Creek Park, and to complete enhancements to the community garden located at the Kay Ceniceros Senior Center.
