Memorial Stadium

Memorial Stadium is quiet these days...no football games or track meets. Selma High School and some other area football teams use the stadium in the fall, and in spring, it is the site of area and state track meets as well as Special Olympics. On July 4, it becomes the venue for the city's patriotic celebration and fireworks show. In the distance are Bloch Park, the baseball stadium; and Valley Creek Park, site of the walking track, a playground and picnic area. Behind you are tennis courts, a skate park and barbecue pit. War memorials line the stadium's front. Inside are city recreation department offices.

Walking the Track

Cool days tend to bring walkers to the track at Valley Creek Park. Walking and exercising more are among my priorities for this year. Since I was tagged by Chris in Nashville to share four of my New Year's resolutions, here they are: 1) Exercise more. 2) Try a bunch of new recipes. 3) Refuse to take in any more stray cats! 4) Post a new photo to this blog every day. (Not that easy to do in a relatively small town!) As for categories of sticking-to-these-resolutions, I am VERY SERIOUS.

No Excuses!

There is simply no excuse for Selmians not to be physically fit! You don't have to join a health club to walk the track at Bloch Park or to use the exercise stations. It's all free, courtesy the City of Selma and Vaughan Community Health. There is even a station for wheelchair users who can try an upper body workout.
