MILWAUKEEMilwaukee County Executive David Crowley announced the schedule of events for the 2025 Healthy County Challenge. This year’s slate of fun, free, family-friendly events will once again be hosted in partnership with the Milwaukee Parks Foundation.

The fourth summer of the Healthy County Challenge will bring participants to over ten County Parks where they can enjoy activities such as yoga, canoeing, Zumba, basketball, and more.

Launched in 2022, the Healthy County Challenge aims to encourage residents to explore our parks, trails, beaches, and other natural spaces, while promoting physical health, mental wellness, and community connection. Studies have shown that spending at least two hours per week in nature can have significant positive effects on mental health and wellbeing.

“I personally invite all Milwaukee County residents to join me in our beautiful parks this summer to enjoy nature, move our bodies, and recharge our minds,” said County Executive Crowley. “These events would not be possible without our dedicated community partners, and I’m grateful for their continued collaboration and commitment to making this initiative a success year after year.”

The events are free and open to the public, with no registration required. The full schedule of events is below. Visit county.milwaukee.gov/HCC2025 for more details.
