Roosevelt Island Health & Fitness Day - Fun and Informative Day For All Who Attended - Great Job


You Tube Video of Dancing at Roosevelt Island Health & Fitness Day

Despite the overcast sky and cool weather on Saturday afternoon,

 

the Kites were flying and Roosevelt Island Health & Fitness Day was a fun and informative day for everyone who attended. Days like this are what many are referring to when they describe the neighborhood and small town nature of the Roosevelt Island community.

Kudos to the staff of the Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) for their work organizing Health & Fitness Day.

Here are some scenes from the 2011 Roosevelt Island Health & Fitness Day.

Basketball Tournament,


 

with trophy's,


Palm Tree Climbing,

Ping Pong on new permanent outdoor tables,


Stationary Bicycle Spinning

Aerobic Exercise (whew, I got tired just watching them and the bike spinners)


Inflatable Playing Spaces


Kite Flying


Hula Hoops,


More Dancing,

and falling.

RIOC Staff dedicating the new outdoor Table Tennis/Ping Pong Tables to George "The Chief" Braithwaite" and presented him with an appreciation plaque.

There was food being served


Back Rubs,


as well as Health, Fitness and Safety information from Coler Goldwater Hospital,


Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center,


New York City Fire Department,


Roosevelt Island Marlins Swim Team,


the Run For the Congo Women's organization,


Health First insurance coverage information and


beauty tips from the Mary Kay Skin Care Lady.


Information and greetings were also available from the Roosevelt Island Disabled Association


and the FDR Hope Memorial Committee.


Here are some more scenes from the 2011 Roosevelt Island Health & Fitness Day.



In addition to Roosevelt Island Health & Fitness Day, another event took place on Saturday with the Gowanus Music Club band's and dancers performing at the Riverwalk Commons.



 I caught some of the performances and they were all excellent. Here's a You Tube video of one.

The Gowanus Music Club event appeared primarily intended as a marketing draw for getting people from outside of Roosevelt Island to see the Riverwalk apartments. Nothing wrong with that. I hope they do more events during the upcoming summer as has been done the last several years with the Roosevelt Live series.


UPDATE: 5/18 - Advised by Hudson/ Related that they will not be doing the Roosevelt Live Series this year.

i think it was all a waste of time

I think this was a waste of time and good money. Poorly run activities and that ice rick was comical.

As a long-timer here, this several-years-old event has both positive and negative aspects. One cannot deny, however, that several hundred FAMILIES with children of many ages participated in the good, the bad and the cheesy...and for the most part, the children and teens had a very good time.

Could this event use a little polishing? Absolutely !! And let the polishing start with the complainers working cooperatively with RIOC and other volunteers to make the 2012 event - which will occur a few weeks before the summer Olympics -- into a more first class event.

And BTW to RIOC -- the grass on the field could have used a lawn mower -- very hard to walk and run on...

It wasn't too bad. My kids had a lot of fun and the fact that it wasn't as packed as something similar would have been in other places in NYC helped a lot. Thanks RIOC.
