City Parks, in partnership with the Provincial Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport, will host ‘Aerobics in the Garden’ for women in celebration of Women’s Month.
This programme places particular focus on women’s fitness and will run every Friday morning during August. An aerobics instructor from the Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport will lead the classes from 08:30 until 09:00.
Classes will take place on the lawns of the Company’s Garden in front of the Iziko Natural History Museum. The dates and times are as follows:
Dates: Friday 10, 17, 24 and 31 August 2012
Venue: Company’s Garden, outside the Iziko Museum, Queen Victoria Street
Time: 08:30 – 09:00
Members of the public who are interested in participating are welcome show their support for women’s issues and fitness by joining the initiative.
“I want to invite all women to join in on a free work-out in the fresh air and peaceful surroundings of the Company’s Garden. Depending on its success, this event could be developed into an ongoing programme in the future. This demonstrates another way in which City Parks ensures the creative usage of its facilities,” says the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services, Councillor Tandeka Gqada.
Mothers are encouraged to bring along their daughters and, after exercising, visit the restaurant in the Company’s Garden for tea and scones or breakfast or simply enjoy the floral displays and the ever-popular squirrels.
