The Wazeecha Fitness Initiative will produce lasting benefits for the Grand Rapids and surrounding Wood and Portage County communities by:
Increasing opportunities for daily physical activity and reducing barriers to exercise
Supporting mental health through access to nature and outdoor recreation
Improving accessibility and inclusion for residents of all abilities
Providing a safe, year-round venue for walking, rehabilitation, and fitness
Enhancing the attractiveness and usability of Lake Wazeecha as a community asset
Over time, we hope the project will help foster a healthier population, stronger community connections, and improved quality of life.
