LAS CRUCES - AARP New Mexico and the city of Las Cruces recently announced the completion of an AARP-sponsored outdoor fitness park in Las Cruces, which they describe as a long-term investment in the health of residents.
The new park is located at the Henry Benavidez Community Center, 1045 McClure Rd. An official ribbon-cutting will be scheduled for later this year, organization officials said.
“Health and wellbeing are central to our lives. AARP is proud to provide this vibrant, accessible AARP-sponsored outdoor fitness park to the local community in Las Cruces,” said AARP CEO Jo Ann Jenkins in a news release. “Support for healthy aging has been a priority for AARP since our founding more than 60 years ago. AARP-sponsored outdoor fitness parks also help bring communities together in safe and healthy ways, which is particularly important as we navigate new phases of staying active during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
