SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 - In three weeks, thousands of people across the State of Iowa will go outside and take a walk for 30 minutes to promote a statewide initiative that's all about being active and connecting with your community.

On Wednesday, October 2 from 4pm-6pm, you can join this effort by heading to Kiwanis Park, 4223 Greenbrier Drive, where the City of Bettendorf's Parks & Recreation Department is hosting an event for the Healthiest State 14^th Annual Walk, part of the Iowa Healthiest State Initiative.

During this special two-hour event, you can:

• Take a stroll on one of Bettendorf's beautiful trails
• Get a sneak peek inside some Bettendorf Public Works Trucks
• Visit with Bettendorf Police Officers and Firefighters
• Play games with the Bettendorf Parks & Rec Department, Bettendorf Public Library, and Family Museum
• Learn how to play pickleball with the Quad Cities Pickleball Club

"The Healthiest State Initiative is a great way to get the family outdoors, enjoy one of our many awesome Parks and explore what the City of Bettendorf has to offer our citizens," said Kim Kidwell, Culture & Recreation Director.
