Physically Active Residential Communities and Schools (PARCS) is a health and wellness outreach program that provides low-cost fitness and wellness services to urban Indianapolis neighborhoods.
All locations are staffed by students from kinesiology and other departments across the IUPUI campus who are committed to making a stronger, healthier Indy community.
Since 2005, PARCS has filled a gap that local fitness centers and schools cannot provide, due to limitations in funding and time.
PARCS is a collaboration between the School of Health & Human Sciences, Eskenazi Health, the Boner Fitness and Learning Center, and public schools in Indianapolis. The program also has support from community partners and volunteers.
