Wendy says,

On Behalf of FBSP, Thank you for coming to the 1st Annual FBSP Fitness Expo and Demos.

A mother said to me the other day, “I love coming to Brown Street Park. My kids have outgrown other parks, but you can never out grow BSP. There is something for everyone.”  With the completion of our fitness area (for now) we know this to be true. 

May 2010 Fitness Update

Fitness Demos 10-1:30 On Saturday, May 22 from 10 AM to 1:30 PM, Friends of Brown Street Park will be hosting a day of free fitness activities to showcase the new and revitalized outdoor equipment for teens and adults at the Brown Street Park.

One new element to be featured is the set of traveling rings - Brown Street Park is one of three locations within the US that has an installation of traveling rings! BSP will be hosting traveling instructors and enthusiasts from NYC's Riverside Park who will be performing demonstrations and offering lessons on how to use this new equipment.

The day will kick off at 10am with CrossFit Providence providing a workout until 11. Starting at 11:30, the NYC instructors will begin their demonstrations and training. At 12:30 the park's fitness partner, the East Side/Mt. Hope YMCA, will conduct 15 minute demos of outdoor aerobics, yoga, conditioning and hybrid training. The YMCA will also be hosting activities for kids from 12:30-1:30.
