Dec. 15 E-newsletter
The Hannibal Parks & Recreation e-newsletter
The Hannibal Parks & Recreation department wants to keep Hannibal active by sponsoring several upcoming events.
Please participate in Parks & Recreation activities and visit Hannibal parks.
Get Up! Get Active!
DID YOU KNOW? If you walk around the Admiral Coontz Recreation Center’s blue track 12 times, you have walked a mile?
Daily physical activity like walking helps protect the body from heart disease and stroke, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, obesity, the most common type of diabetes and many cancers.
The facility, also known as the armory, is open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and 7-11 a.m. Saturdays, unless rented. It is a non-smoking facility located at 301 Warren Barrett Drive.
