LUCERNE, Calif. — The Lake County Parks and Recreation Division has constructed an outdoor trail and installed multiple fitness stations at Lucerne Creek Park.

Located along the shores of Lucerne Creek, it offers an expanded recreational and fitness opportunity for Northshore residents.

Regular physical activity is a cornerstone of a healthy, well-balanced life. Outdoor adult fitness facilities are reported to be vital to realizing community health and wellness goals.

Additional facilities will soon be developed at Hammond Park in Nice and Kelseyville Community Park.

“We are working to make physical activity and exercise more available, accessible and enjoyable for all Lake County residents,” said Lake County’s Public Services Director Lars Ewing. “Our new Lucerne Creek Park facility and others already in place are a great start. More amenities are planned for the future, and we are grateful to all of the members of the public who have recently engaged in visioning activities.”

“We all know physical activity is great for overall health, brain health and reducing risk factors for disease,” said Jonathan Portney, Lake County’s Health Services director. “And research shows being outdoors may have emotional and cognitive benefits.”
