Fitness Fieldtrip 10/21 (In-Person)

Join our Queens Court community for a trip to the Longbridge Aquatics and Fitness Center! You’ll have the option of using the pool and/or gym, depending on your preferences.

Meetup: Our walking group will head out from Queens Court at 10am and take the blue metro line together from the Rosslyn metro station to the Crystal City metro station near Longbridge. If you’d like to meet us directly at Longbridge, then plan to arrive after 11:00am. There is metered parking available.

To prepare: Please review the following information carefully.

– Attire: Everyone is encouraged to dress appropriately for the activities you want to participate in. People going to the fitness room should wear sneakers and comfortable, athletic clothing. People going to the pool should bring your bathing suit, sandals, and a towel.

-Entrance fee: If you don’t already have a Longbridge membership, then you will need to purchase a daypass. Cash is recommended but you can also use a debit/credit card. The price is $9 for Arlington residents, and further information can be found here.

-Public transport: If you’re taking the metro, please remember to bring your SmarTrip Card, or your Metro Access Card and a government id. Alternatively, you can bring cash/debit/credit card and purchase a roundtrip pass.

-Food/drink: We highly encourage bringing a water bottle and a snack.

Weather Cancellation: In case of unsafe weather conditions, an announcement will be made on Whatsapp at least 2 hours prior to the start of the outdoor event.

Contact: We will communicate changes of plans via Whatsapp, so please join the Queens Court Whatsapp group to receive important event updates.

Accomodations: At OSG, our staff are not direct service providers, so we ask that each participant attending an event brings any personal support they may need for their well-being and engagement. This may include, but is not limited to, caregivers, communication partners, or mobility aids. That said, with prior notice, we can arrange group-wide accommodations during event planning. These might include ensuring wheelchair-accessible routes or selecting allergen-safe menus. Additional accommodations are available upon request, though they may not be listed here. To discuss your specific needs and help us make our events more inclusive, please contact us at claudet@ourstompingground.org with the subject line “Accomodation Request.”

*Note: Sign-up is mandatory. Be sure to RSVP so we know to expect you.
