Family fitness made possible

With so many things competing for so little time, some people are forced sacrifice their health or their family time for more urgent and demanding, though less essential, activities. In some instances, they are forced to let go of both. With today’s financially trying and highly competitive times, finding time for family and for staying fit could be the least cause of concern for most people.

"It is easier to be a family when the members are active and healthy," says Community Innovations president Bobby Dy. "Engaging in sports and fitness activities is hard especially for working parents, but it is important that they themselves live active lifestyles for their children to emulate. Besides, enjoying fun, outdoor activities doesn’t only provide physical benefits, it actually strengthens the bonds of family members."

Upon realizing this predicament, Community Innovations, an Ayala Land company, explored the concept of family fitness and harmonized it with the real needs of families who travel from their houses to the city in order to work or study. Given that most people sacrifice their health and family time to meet the necessity of providing for their families, it is important to provide venues for them to spend time together doing healthy activities near their homes.

With this, Community Innovations gave birth to Verdana Homes Mamplasan — a community that offers top-of-the-line facilities so residents can easily enjoy an active lifestyle with their families. "We provided lots of amenities to serve the interest of all," says Iris Josef, project development manager of Community Innovations. Now, families do not have to waste what’s left of their precious time on traveling just to find a place where every member can find leisure and at the same time earn health benefits.

The two-hectare Central Park at Verdana provides the amenities to suit every family member’s needs. Parents who prefer simple workouts can enjoy jogging and biking with their kids at the trails, which were specially made for such cardio-vascular activities. Residents who like more intense and interactive physical activities can bond with their children at the community’s two covered badminton courts, basketball court and swimming pool. For those families who simply want to have fun games with their kids and get in touch with the greens of the outdoors, there’s the Kids’ Play Area. This is an expanse, which features an open field, modern play equipment and a skating/multi-purpose rink.
