As I have watched the Olympians each night, in total awe, I must admit a new desire to return to the exercise equipment, walking paths and other avenues offered in Southwest Louisian to improve my general health. What a wonderful side affect this has on our country every time the Olympics rolls around.
The media tells us I am not alone. In the following months there will be a run by individuals signing up at health clubs and especially young people signing up for swimming and gymnastic lessons.
Southwest Louisiana is fortunate to have progressive leaders that are thinking of its youth and also not so young. SPAR (Sulphur Parks and Recreation) is a division that runs the City of Sulphur's public recreational facilities. To learn more about Sulphur, check out the pages on Derenda.com, exclusively dedicated to Sulphur, LA.
The SPAR Aquatic Center is the latest addition and the star in its crown at the moment. This wonderful, year round facility, offers an 8 lane 50 meter competitive pool with a 4 lane 25 yard warm up pool. Since this is the heart of the facility it is thus called the Aquatic Center, but it is far from limited to the pools.
It offers 2 full size basketball and racquetball courts, a full service fitness center and indoor jogging track, aerobic and yoga rooms, plus a Kid’s Zone and Free areas. They also provide locker rooms, a lounge area for socializing after the work outs. During the summer months there is a wonderful outdoor water park that is just strictly FUN! This “State of the Art” facility is greatly appreciated and used by the general public. I am sure their attendance will increase now that we all have developed renewed awareness of the desire to improve our health and well being.
They have only daily admission fees posted, but membership is available at a very desirable price. Hopefully we will all attend to our health in some way in the upcoming days. See you in the local Health facility or park near your home.
