You're Invited: Help Build Berkshire County's First NinjaFit Playground!
Join the Town of Lee alongside Neighborhood Ninjas, local businesses, and community volunteers as we come together to build Berkshire County's first NinjaFit Playground: A 15-obstacle course designed to fill a gap in traditional recreation by providing a free outdoor fitness space created with teens, adults, and families in mind, while remaining accessible to younger children and older adults.
After seeing the success of Neighborhood Ninjas' first NinjaFit Playground Project in Wilmington, Delaware, the Town of Lee and Lee Youth Commission invited the nonprofit to bring the concept to Berkshire County. Beyond open play, Neighborhood Ninjas will offer free community programming throughout the year, including youth mentorship, family events, adult fitness classes, senior wellness programs, and more.
The Community Build Day will transform the site through the efforts of local businesses, organizations, and volunteers working side by side to create a lasting community resource.
Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome - no construction experience is necessary. Community members interested in volunteering can sign up here. Whether you can join us for a full shift or just a few hours, we'd love to have you on the team!
