A neighborhood that provides easy and consistent access to opportunities to get active will naturally be a healthier, happier, and more popular place! Go for a swim at the Crystal Park Sport & Health, take tennis lessons at the Crystal Gateway Sport & Health, grab a bicycle from the Revolution Cycles City Hub or from Capital Bikeshare, enhance your strength with CrossFit South Arlington, hit the trails for a jog, or participate in any number of regularly scheduled ACTIVE events including Monday Morning Yoga with Mind Your Body Oasis, Wednesday Zumba with Sport & Health, Crystal Run and Crystal Ride race challenges!
