PARKS DEPARTMENT STARTS THE NEW YEAR WITH COMMUNITY WALKING PROGRAM
This January, meet other community members with shared goals and together take the first steps to a healthier lifestyle.
The City of Goshen’s Parks & Recreation Department has partnered with Goshen College and Medicine Reimagined DPC to create a local chapter of Walk with a Doc, a national program that combines creating a habit of walking with health education.
Through this program, all scheduled walks —the first Monday of each month—are free and open to the public; a registration will be required. All walks will start at 6 p.m. and they will be held at the Goshen College Recreation-Fitness Center January–March and Pringle Park, 1912 W. Lincoln Ave., April–December.
Each month, the walk will start with a short session in which participants will learn about a health topic from a healthcare provider; the rest of the hour is for participants to enjoy a healthy walk and fun conversation.
The program kicks off Monday, January 3, at Goshen College. Mayor Jeremy Stutsman, Parks & Recreation Superintendent Tanya Heyde and Recreational Supervisor Kimberlee Stephens will participate in the first walk.
To register, go to https://walkwithadoc.org/join-a-walk/locations/goshen-indiana/ and follow the instructions on the right-hand column under sign-up. For additional questions about the program or registration, contact the Parks & Recreation Department at 534-2901.

Aviso Público
La Ciudad de Goshen está colaborando con ADEC, Inc. para desarrollar el Proyecto de Sendero Sensorial de Goshen para ayudar a conectar a las personas con discapacidades con los beneficios para la salud y las maravillas de la naturaleza.
La subvención de Conexiones Comunitarias para Personas con Discapacidades (CCPWD por sus siglas en inglés) se ofrece a través de la Oficina de Asuntos Comunitarios y Rurales de Indiana (OCRA), en asociación con la División de Servicios de Rehabilitación y Discapacidad de Indiana (DDRS). La oportunidad de obtener la subvención CCPWD es una subvención en bloque para el desarrollo comunitario que se pone a disposición debido fondos suplementarios de CDBG Coronavirus autorizados bajo la Ley CARES. OCRA ha puesto a disposición $4.9 millones en fondos.
Se otorgó $155,322 para este proyecto. El 100% de los fondos se destina a ayudar a personas adultas con discapacidad. La Ciudad y ADEC Inc. están desarrollando una aplicación habilitada para GPS a la que se accede mediante un teléfono o tableta para conectar a los usuarios con la naturaleza en una experiencia sensorial totalmente inmersiva. La aplicación ayudará a los usuarios a localizar e identificar características naturales únicas, señalar espacios interactivos donde las personas pueden participar en la experiencia sensorial y brindar oportunidades en las que los usuarios puedan aprender, relajarse e involucrar sus sentidos.
El proyecto también está agregando experiencias de la naturaleza en línea que incluyen cámaras estacionarias de naturaleza en vivo para brindar a las personas que no pueden participar en el sendero acceso a los mismos beneficios para la salud mental de las vistas y los sonidos de la naturaleza desde su hogar.
El proyecto está diseñado para beneficiar a personas adultas con discapacidades. Sin desplazamiento.
Se llevará a cabo una reunión pública el lunes 6 de diciembre de 2021 a las 9:00 am en Reith Interpretative Center, 410 W Plymouth. Puede solicitar adaptaciones especiales llamando al 574-533-8621. TDD 574-534-3185. Póngase en contacto con TheresaSailor@goshencity.com para obtener más información.
