Active Santa Monica

 

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 is no better place to get out there and get active!
