Portland Parks & Recreation is helping you achieve your fitness goals this summer in our beautiful community parks. Fitness in the Park invites people of every fitness level to join in the outdoor fun.
Eight local parks are participating with fitness classes taking place on select days, Monday-Friday. Workouts range from Zumba to yoga to cardio and strength training.
Fitness in the Park takes place from May-August in 2025. People of all fitness levels and ages 14 and up are welcome.
Here are the participating parks and class schedules:
