Gig Harbor Area Residents S.A.I.L. into a Healthier New Year

If you have visited area parks recently, you may have noticed a new additon. With thanks to the Peninsula Fall Prevention Coalition http://peninsulafallpreventioncoalition.com and to the City of Gig Harbor, three area parks now have S.A.I.L instructional signs installed along their walking trails. Staying Active and Independent for Life (S.A.I.L>), is a series of simple exercises designed to help reduce our risks of suffering a fall related injury by improved balance, muscle tone, and flexibility.

The signs at Volunteer Park, Key Peninsula [pictured], were made possible by the generous financial contributions from Key Peninsula Firefighters' Union and Metro Parks. Signs at Kenneth Leo Marvin (KLM) Park in West Gig Harbor were donated by Merrill Gardens of Gig Harbor, and signs along the Cushman Trail at Hollycroft and Olympic Drive were made possible by Visiting Angels.
