A healthy diet can go a long way towards preventing future health problems. When you go out to eat, look for the heart-healthy items listed on the menu.

Just Park It

A Bit of Activity
Both the Simmons Senior Center and the Midway Recreation Center have classes and activities to fit any interest. From floor aerobics to Boot Scootin’ Bandits to Martial Arts, we have something to suit residents of all ages and activity levels.

Go For a Dip
Splash Island in South Euless Park is a fantastic way to beat the summer heat. This aquatic playground is the latest addition to the Euless Parks family. Splash Island, as well as the three swimming pools located throughout Euless, will open Memorial Day weekend and offer the perfect way to get in a workout, while
having fun with the family. For swimming pool hours and classes, please visit www.euless.org/pacs.

With Man’s Best Friend
There is no better alarm clock for that morning walk than a dog. As much as you would like, you can’t hit the snooze button on a dog. There are plenty of pooches and felines available for adoption today at the Euless Animal Shelter.

The City of Euless hopes we can help our residents adopt a healthy lifestyle. Please take advantage of the many opportunities available to become a Healthy New Euless.
