What's Active Living? |
|
 Active Living is the
integration of physical activity into our
daily routines.
In response to an
alarming national trend toward obesity and
disease, the City is committed to promoting
active lifestyles for the health and well
being of our community.
With Santa Monica's
wealth of recreational facilities and our
year-round temperate climate, there's no
better place to get out there and get
active!
NEW!
Don't forget about the Original Muscle Beach
in Santa Monica!
