Asheville Parks & Recreation (APR) recently renovated fitness centers at Linwood Crump Shiloh and Stephens-Lee community centers – and community members can enjoy use of cardio equipment, exercise machines, free weights, open gym time, and more through June 30, 2023. During this time, APR will waive membership and daily pass fees so more people can access the necessities for a regular fitness routine. Locals can sign up online or at either community center to receive a fitness center key fob that can be scanned at either location.
“Our team is committed to creating spaces in which everyone feels welcome,” according to D. Tyrell McGirt, APR Director. “We are in the community building business. The gyms and fitness rooms at these two locations are filled with everything you’d expect from other top-notch fitness facilities and dedicated to body positivity and accessible wellness. By waiving the cost to use them for the first six months of the year, we hope more friends and neighbors will be able to connect with each other and maintain healthy lifestyles.”
This 9-week class will be an introduction to Basic Tai Chi Principles using the Tai Chi for Arthritis and Falls Prevention Level I form. If you are new to Tai Chi this class is a perfect fit for you.
The Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention form was developed by Dr. Paul Lam, a family physician in Australia, and is endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Arthritis Foundation. Tai Chi’s numerous evidence based health benefits will be included in class discussions.
The class will be taught by Patricia Gilliam, a certified instructor with the Tai Chi for Health Institute.
Attendees should plan to attend all nine classes, as each class builds on the previous one. The class is available for no charge, but space is limited. Registration is required. Please contact [email protected] with questions.

The Western North Carolina Historical Association (WNCHA) is proud to participate in the American Battlefield Trust’s annual Park Day. On this day, volunteers across the country team up to clean, maintain, and learn about the history of battlefields and site associated with the American Revolution, War of 1812, and Civil War.
Our event takes place on the grounds of the Smith-McDowell House, the headquarters of WNCHA and also a site related to the American Civil War. Volunteers of all ages are welcome!
The day’s activities begin with sign-in at 9am on the patio at the rear entrance to Smith-McDowell House. Volunteers will rake leaves, pick up debris, spread mulch, weed gardens, clear dead shrubs and trees, and plant new ones (if available). We are committed to maintaining the Olmsted landscape restored for us by the Men’s Garden Club of Asheville. We are grateful for their participation.
We will provide bottled water as well as pizza, and will feature an educational speaker at lunch time. Please help us plan by registering in advance and letting us know your lunch preferences (either pepperoni or cheese pizza)

Building together for 40 years
Since incorporating on February 11, 1983, thousands of local adults and children have benefitted from AAHH’s affordable Homeownership and Home Repair Programs. Each home build and home repair project has been an exercise in partnership. Volunteers, donors, advocates, homeowners, and ReStore supporters – folks of various religions, ethnicities, socio-economic classes, and political beliefs – unite around a shared vision and build homes, communities, and hope.
We are grateful to all who have been part of the journey thus far. And we invite new partners to our work. There is still much work to be done, and it will take all of us
