March Moves: Parks Programming Returns to Midtown

March programming is back in Midtown, and it’s bringing fresh energy to our parks all month long. Before spring officially arrives at the end of March, we’re kicking off the season early with outdoor fitness, wellness, and community moments designed to keep the Midtown community active, connected, and thriving.

Whether you’re looking to dance it out on a Tuesday night, unwind with a sound bath, bring the family to try something new, or join us for a movie under the lights, every program is FREE—and Midtown parks are the place to be.
