Fort Hill Activity Center to host fifth anniversary celebration Aug. 21

The Naperville Park District opened Fort Hill Activity Center five years ago as the community's first large indoor recreation space and a center for healthy physical activity year round for all ages and abilities.

To celebrate Fort Hill Activity Center's fifth anniversary, the park district invites the community to a free special event with activities and refreshments for the whole family.

The celebration will take place from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 21, at Fort Hill Activity Center, 20 Fort Hill Drive.

Attendees can sample fitness classes, view program demonstrations, enjoy refreshments and enter raffle drawings for prizes including a 6-month and 12-month Fort Hill Fitness membership and a variety of gifts from local sponsors.

Guests also will have the opportunity to receive a free commemorative T-shirt for participating in a 5-year celebration challenge; giveaways and samples available only while supplies last.

The event schedule is as follows:

• Open gymnastics from 9 to 11 a.m.

• Zumba from 9:15 to 9:45 a.m.

• Functional Interval Training from 10 to 10:30 a.m.

• Dance performance from 10:30 to 10:45 a.m.

Fort Hill Activity Center has become a favorite destination for fitness and for community activities for all ages.

The nearly 84,000 square foot facility includes an indoor walking/running track, a fitness center, gymnasium with basketball, volleyball, and pickleball/badminton courts, a dedicated gymnastics area, group exercise studios, multi-purpose rooms, childcare area, and an indoor playground.

The facility has enabled the park district to offer new basketball and gymnastics programs for kids, a variety of sports and programmed activities for adults, and state-of-the-art fitness space available via membership.
