Physically Active Residential Communities and Schools (PARCS) is a health and wellness outreach program that provides low-cost fitness and wellness services to individuals living in urban Indianapolis neighborhoods.
PARCS is a collaboration between the School of Health & Human Sciences, Eskenazi Health, the Boner Fitness and Learning Center, and public schools in Indianapolis. The program also has support from community partners and volunteers.
Locations are staffed by students from kinesiology and other departments across the campus who are committed to building stronger, healthier Indy communities.
PARCS memberships include access to one of two fitness centers with the value of group fitness classes, individualized exercise assessments, and healthy lifestyle education. Students choose from one of two locations and work directly with clients.
