The Boston Parks and Recreation Department and Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) announced the 2026 Boston Parks Fall Fitness Series, sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts. The series will offer free weekly classes in City of Boston parks from now through October 17.
This fall, residents can enjoy a variety of healthy activities in the parks, including Walking Group, Yoga, Tai Chi, ZUMBA®, Dance Hall Bootcamp, and more. Classes are designed for all skill levels and ages, with options that are family-friendly, age-friendly, and welcoming to those who may be new to fitness.
“Our parks are places where Bostonians of all ages and backgrounds can move, connect, and thrive year-round alongside some of the city’s best fitness experts,” said Commissioner Diana Fernandez Bibeau. “We’re grateful for our partnership with the Boston Public Health Commission and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, which helps bring free, accessible fitness programming and opportunities for community connection directly into our neighborhoods this fall. Join Boston’s own Brandy K. Cruthird for a brisk walk in Franklin Park, or get your heart pumping with Dancehall Bootcamp led by Miciyiaah Renrick.”
“The Fall Fitness Series is a wonderful opportunity for residents of all ages to enjoy Boston’s beautiful parks, while participating in free and accessible activities that can improve their health and well-being,” said Dr. Bisola Ojikutu, Commissioner of Public Health for the City of Boston. “Resources like these free classes help reduce the risk of chronic disease, which is one of the goals of Live Long and Well, our citywide population health equity agenda. By improving access to safe spaces where everyone can engage in physical activity, we are ensuring that Boston is a city where all residents can thrive.”
