Healthy Kids Day

Join us for Healthy Kids Day at the Y!

At Healthy Kids Day, children and families will have the opportunity to learn about the importance of healthy eats, nutrition and physical activity, mental and emotional well-being and developing healthy habits. 

Celebrated each spring, Healthy Kids Day is a place for kids to be kids! Fun events, games, activities, group exercise and youth class demonstrations, healthy snacks, contests and prizes, local vendors and community partner booths and so much more are all free and open to the community.

Healthy Kids Day is part of Eugene's BIKE MONTH EVENTS, and this is going to be the most bike-friendly Healthy Kids Day yet! Shift Community Cycles will lead a fun and family-friendly group bike ride from Tugman Park to the event. Hop on your bike and meet near the play structure at 9:30 a.m. Cascadia Mobility will be offering free bike valet at Healthy Kids Day and Shift Community Cycles will be doing free bike tune-ups at their pop-up bike repair shop! Plus, bring your bike month passport and get a sticker from Lane Council of Governments!
