Crowley encouraging families and residents from all Milwaukee County communities and of all abilities to join in events throughout the summer
MILWAUKEE, WI – This Memorial Day weekend, County Executive David Crowley will kick off the 2023 Health County Challenge on Saturday with the Kite Festival and Lakefront Walk at Veterans Park at 10 AM.
It is the second straight summer the County Executive is leading a countywide challenge aimed at bringing residents into parks, trails, nature areas, beaches, and other outdoor spaces to foster physical and mental wellness. The effort is made possible through collaboration with Milwaukee County Parks, the Milwaukee Parks Foundation and The Ability Center.
“Once again, I am inviting all residents to join the Healthy County Challenge and engage in one or all of the events on the challenge agenda this summer” said County Executive David Crowley. “Milwaukee County is committed to addressing inequities by ensuring equitable access to parks, trails, and outdoor spaces in a way that supports healthy lifestyles for all of our residents.”
The initiative is part of a comprehensive and collaborative effort to engage all Milwaukee County residents. Learn more about the Healthy County Challenge here.
