Fit NOLA Parks and Farmers Market Prescriptions

The Fit NOLA Parks & Farmers Market Prescriptions initiative connected residents to community health clinics, parks and farmers markets in the St. Roch, Gert Town, and Hoffman Triangle-Central City neighborhoods. Through the Fit NOLA initiative, approximately 64,000 residents in these three neighborhoods were able to attend fun physical activities for families, shop for more local and nutritious foods, and visit community-centered health clinics.
