National Girls and Women in Sports Day takes place today, Feb. 1, and Asheville Parks and Recreation invites the community to celebrate on Saturday, Feb. 4 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at Carrier Park (220 Amboy Rd.) by trying new sports, fitness activities, and clinics.
First observed in 1987, the day is designed to connect women and girls to a variety of physical activities, commemorate the athletic achievements of women, and help them develop confidence, strength, and character.
