 The Lincoln Park District is the largest
recreational and fitness facility in Lincoln. Some of the many
features include: basketball courts, volleyball courts, tennis
courts, pickleball courts, indoor walking track, indoor golf net,
circuit machines, strength area, aerobic studio, spinning studio,
infrared sauna and huge locker rooms with showers.
Seasonal recreation activities include a driving range, playground
equipment, baseball fields, softball fields, and our Aquatic Center.
The Aquatic Center consists of a 6-lane lap pool, a large curvy
yellow slide that dumps you in the plunge pool and an enclosed zero
depth wading pool for toddlers.
We offer a large range of affordable membership options. Discounts
are offered to seniors age 60 and over, to some businesses, active
duty military and veterans. We also honor Silver Sneaker, Silver &
Fit and Prime cardholders.
The Lincoln Park District Fit Zone group fitness classes are a
staple to many of our members. There are currently over 20 classes
offered each week. All of which are included free with the Full
Access and Circuit memberships.
We offer several specialized classes from some of the best fitness
training including: Spinning, R.I.P.P.E.D., and BARRE Above, just to
name a few.
BARRE Above is one of our newer offerings this past year that has
been enjoyed by so many.
A few other new, specialized classes that we have introduced this
year would be our winter Water Aerobics, Beginner Yoga, Women’s Self
Defense and Couples Yoga Massage. We are always adding new fresh,
fun programming for our community.
The Lincoln Park District fitness staff consists of 13 instructors
and trainers who are certified in various areas. This allows our
fitness programs to continue to grow with the ever-changing fitness
industry.
Our classes are held year-round, six days a week. On occasion, we
offer specialized free community classes and special incentives.
Fitness Manager Jennifer Prather likes to offer a variety of classes
on the group fitness schedule and programs to help keep your
workouts fresh and fun.
During the summer months, our fitness programs extend outside to our
Aquatic Center. Water aerobics begins in June and concludes near the
end of August. This year will be our third year for our Mid-Summer
Mini Triathlon event in July.
The Lincoln Park District enjoys working with the community and
collaborating with other local organizations to plan community
events.
These are just a few of the most recent examples of how we are
always looking for opportunities to build solid relationships within
the community to be able to serve Lincoln better:
- During the Pigs and Swigs event, you will find that we offer a 5K
for our community.
- The Lincoln College has been partnering with us for music lessons
and for water aerobics.
- Yoshukai Karate Alliance offered a Women’s Self Defense class, and
we have three Ambassadors for the ALMH Fitness Court.
