“It’s a place for families and friends to have fun while participating in fitness and sporting activities strengthen family bonds through these shared sports experiences.

“In addition to our community programming such as Experience Sports Learn-to-Play sessions and daily Fitbit FIT-Sessions, the Sports Hub Community Play Day is another opportunity for us to engage the community and let them play, discover and interact with the broad range of activities at the Hub.”
