Hi All,
I live in the Woodstock Downtown Condos and like you I really enjoy the active community experience found here. Woodstock is host to miles and miles of bike and hiking trails, running clubs, gyms and cross fitness clubs, aquatic and yoga centers, golf courses
and tennis courts. One could argue that per square mile,Woodstock is the most fitness oriented community in the State of Georgia.
In my recent travels, I fell in love with the Traveling Rings located at the Santa Monica Pier near Venice Beach California. It was great fun yet challenging exercise. Upon my return home I started to do some research and was surprised to find that outside
the famous rings there were only a few communities in the world that have outdoor installations (http://travelingrings.org/about/where-are-the-traveling-rings/).
Thus began my quest to Bring the Rings to Woodstock GA!
Become a Ring Enthusiast
In my research to Bring the Rings to Woodstock, I’ve met some fabulous ring enthusiasts.

Traveling Rings!

And fortunately for us all I found another Traveling Ring enthusiast in Preston Pooser, our very own City of Woodstock Parks and Recreation Director! Preston has been working to remake Dupree Park (http://www.woodstockga.gov/index.aspx?NID=350)
located nearby at 513 Neese Road Woodstock, GA into a 3 mile fitness trail complete with exercise stations. The Traveling Ring installation will showcase this fabulous Park renovation!
