Destin’s Parks and Recreation Department rolls out vibrant April calendar with painting, yoga, dodgeball, and egg hunts for all ages

Destin, Florida – The Parks and Recreation Department of Destin is preparing for an active month packed with activities and programs meant to include the community and foster wellness as the weather in April gets warmer. From yoga and painting to holiday egg hunts, there’s something for everyone in the family to enjoy.

Beginning the month on a creative note, the Painting at the Park event is set for April 5th at Captain Royal Melvin Heritage Park. Running from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, this family-friendly painting session is a great opportunity for families to enjoy some creative expression while also spending time together. Destin locals pay $30 and non-residents $40, which covers all supplies, snacks, and drinks. Considering the outside environment, attendees are advised to pre-register to guarantee their place in what seems to be a popular event.

The Destin Community Center’s parking lot will become a busy market for the community yard sale the week on April 12th. From 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, residents may peruse a variety of items, discovering deals galore and treasures. For a modest charge, sellers both local and beyond the community may book an area with a table and two chairs.

Destin’s fitness enthusiasts have several events to anticipate. Every Monday and Thursday, the Community Center still holds its popular Chair Yoga courses, which offer a mild but powerful exercise appropriate for all ages and fitness levels. The new Shape and Sculpt fitness class, beginning on March 10, also provides a light workout every Wednesday, ideal for those wanting to improve their strength and balance.

Pickleball players may also celebrate since the community center offers sessions multiple times a week, including a special slot for beginners every Wednesday afternoon. The Thursday night Adult Yoga class, which emphasizes breathing and controlled movements by combining Hatha and Vinyasa yoga techniques, is ideal for settling down after a hectic day.

For the younger audience, the Destin Community Center’s Youth Dodgeball on Thursday nights and the Kidz Klub after-school program combine physical activity with education and enjoyment, hence offering ideal outlets for energy and creativity.
