The Day of Play is a state wide celebration recognizing the importance of fitness, health and wellness for kids of all ages. Families are provided an opportunity to learn about a healthy lifestyle.

Come spend the morning at Tumbleweed Park as we promote health, wellness, and fitness for kids of all ages. Free activities will get the kids playing and their minds active, while parents can explore the various booths on health, wellness, and fitness.

Bike Land

Bring your kid’s bikes along to join the Fit Kids Fun Ride and enjoy everything cycling and safety at the Brett Saks Foundation’s Bike Land. Banner Children’s will be providing the first 500 kids with FREE helmets. Visit www.gearupaz.org/bike-land for more information on how to set up your own Fundraising Page for the bike ride to help raise funds for local schools. Some of the funds raised will also go toward bringing bike safety education to the schools and community as well. Here’s how you can participate in raising funds…Read Me!

Rules & Regulations

• Although it is a kid’s bike ride, parents and family members who would like to ride alongside their younger children may do so. Please, no road bikes (professional cycling bikes) because of the type of course we have. Safety First!
• Participants of the Fit Kid Fun Ride and Bike Safety Rodeo are encouraged to bring their own bikes. However, a small amount of ‘loaner bikes’ will be available for kids to borrow as they participate.
• There will be an area for people to park and lock their own bikes, at their own risk.
• Helmets will be given to the first 500 kids who attend and who (hopefully) participate in the passport system (see below).
• A ‘passport’ system will be in place so that attendees can maximize learning. Attendees will be encouraged to attend set stations where they will have their passports checked off. Once completed and their information is entered onto the passport, Banner Children’s will collect the passport and issue a helmet. However, a passport is not required to receive a helmet, just strongly encouraged.

Bike Safety Rodeo

Bike Land will also feature a Bike Safety Rodeo, where kids can enjoy a skilled-based obstacle course focused on different bike safety tips and practice safe riding in a fun environment. The Bike Safety Rodeo will be hosted by WE-CYCLE-USA.

Activity List

There will be several stations in Bike Land that will teach different aspects of safety, including an outdoor bike education classroom taught by REI and a self-defense station taught by Kajukenbo Arizona. Other activities include hula hooping, a bike giveaway, coloring stations, and much more!

Teen Fitness Challenge

Join us at the Chandler Mayor’s Day of Play presented by Banner’s Children for the inaugural Teen Fitness Challenge. The Teen Fitness Challenge is a 5 part obstacle course that will be timed for speed! Challenges have been created by the Chandler Fire Department, Chandler YMCA, the Tumbleweed Recreation Center, and more!
