Healthy Shasta

On Fridays we feature trails! 👟

Today's trail is Enterprise Park in Redding!

This trail features a walk through a lively park featuring three main sections: a disc golf & a soccer field, Kids Kingdom playground with seasonal water feature, a community center, restrooms, and drinking fountains. The third section includes open space with a community garden sponsored by People of Progress, and a BMX bike track. A dirt loop for walking or cycling surrounds the garden with views of Churn Creek. The trail also connects to the playground area and soccer field. 🍂🍂

Mark your calendars for the Bike About Shasta Rides during Cycle September!
Bike Abouts are beginner-friendly rides to learn how to explore your neighborhood and community by bike. Whether you want to do a quick errand by bike, ride to school or work, or just get out to enjoy nature, these rides are for you! The rides in this series will feature safety tips for riding in traffic, allow you to experience the comfort of riding in a group, and familiarize you with routes that may be different from motor vehicle routes.
Please sign up if you plan to attend one or both rides at ShastaBikeChallenge.org

Tour of City of Shasta Lake- This ride is a family-friendly, casual pace ride – a fun way to be outside, riding with other families and learning destinations to bike to such as schools, parks, and main street destinations.

Sign up to volunteer for the 19th Annual Bike & Pedestrian Count on September 15–17!
The data you gather is very valuable and essential in securing funding for better bike ways in Shasta County.

Our focus is to count annually the third full week of September (15, 16, 17th), however, if you are not available to count that week due to vacation, poor air quality, or an unforeseeable conflict, you can still sign up and count the following week, Sept 22, 23, or 24.
