Westbrook Wellness
Westbrook Wellness is a summer program that promotes healthy lifestyle choices and offers opportunities to learn, move, and improve your health while connecting with the community.
This initiative offers a diverse selection of free, accessible programming at Westbrook Common. Situated in the heart of downtown Westbrook, the Common is easily accessible by public transportation, bike, car, or on foot. This initiative embodies a placemaking philosophy and adopts a people-centric approach to fostering environments that support our community’s health and well-being.
Made possible by Community Health Options, DDW platforms encourage balanced lifestyle choices in four ways:
- Convenient, accessible outdoor fitness programming
- Access to healthy food options
- Promoting health and wellness via an informational campaign
- Accountability
A second partnership with the Westbrook School District enabled our organization to offer and host free, healthy summer lunches for children at Westbrook Common, served every weekday during summer break.
With over forty free wellness events, ranging from zumba to salsa, line dancing to guided bike rides, there is something for everyone! Events occur throughout the week, making it possible to fit into anyone’s schedule.
Westbrook Wellness culminates with our annual Monsters Run the River 5k race in October. To stay up to date on our events and offerings, subscribe to the DDW email newsletter, which provides updates, event information, and tips for healthy habits during Westbrook Wellness.
All Westbrook Common events hosted by DDW are made possible by our partnership with Lighthouse Credit Union. Thank you for being our Founding Partner!
