A Park for All Seasons

Way Park is the heart of a vibrant neighborhood on the west side of Northfield. It features: a musical playground; playground equipment and swings; pre-school equipment; a basketball court; picnic and grilling areas; a walking path; a warming hut and ice rink (seasonal); a small baseball/kickball diamond (seasonal); a large open field perfect for pick up soccer games and kite flying; and lovely rain gardens. Our organization, The Friends of Way Park hosts several events every year including Yoga in the Park, Pumpkin Fest, and a spring picnic event.

Four More Yoga Sessions!

Please join us on the next four Saturdays as we host Yoga in the Park! Here are the details:
  • When: Saturdays, Sept. 21, Sept. 28, Oct. 5 and Oct. 12 (Oct. 19 is the rain date), from 10-11am
  • Where: Way Park amphitheater on south end of park
  • What to bring: Water bottle, yoga mat if you have one (we have a small set of yoga mats available as needed)
  • Instructor: Melissa Sharpe, licensed yoga instructor and west side resident
  • Cost: FREE—It doesn't get better than that!
  • Childcare: On the playground, with two childcare providers—also FREE!
We have this opportunity thanks to the Healthy Activitiy Grant we received through Allina's Neighborhood Health Connection program. Our first two sessions in August brought together approximately 40 people each week, young & old, from the east and west sides of town. Melissa has done a wonderful job of incorporating connection—to self, to neighbor, to nature—into this practice of yoga.
