Dakar - Open Gym for all!

2025-04-09 15:34:47 UTC

I’ve been to the Corniche in Senegal twice, and every time I’m amazed by how alive it is. No matter the time of day, you see people running, walking, or playing sports. It’s open to everyone — no entrance fee, no barriers — just a beautiful, accessible space where the whole community comes together to stay active and enjoy the coast.

2025-04-09 15:43:08 UTC

I really like this WHO guideline because it makes physical activity feel doable for everyone — no matter your age or ability. It’s not about being an athlete, but about moving more and sitting less in ways that fit your life.

Jardí del Túria - a linear park on a riverbed

2025-04-14 09:08:16 UTC

In the late 80s, the old Turia riverbed was transformed into a large linear park. Thanks to citizen advocacy, what could have been a network of motorways through the city centre was instead preserved as green space. Today, this 10-kilometer park extends across the entire city, providing access to green zones and recreational areas for many residents. It also features sports facilities, which serve as a significant catalyst for physical activity throughout the city. Dozens of runners use the running trail every day!

Cityzens in Motion - Sport Meets Sustainability

maxwellomondy — 2025-04-17 09:43:46 UTC

As a Run Leader with UrbanBetter Nairobi Cityzens Hub, I’ve seen firsthand how movement can spark change.

This photo is from one of our pilot activation runs. We tracked air quality while walking through Nairobi’s diverse neighbourhoods, using sport and community action to advocate for cleaner air and healthier urban spaces.

Every step counts toward safer streets, stronger communities, and a healthier planet.
