Northwest Greensboro is the home of Proehlific Park. Proehlific Park is located on 22 acres at the corner of Jessup Grove and Horse Pen Creek Roads. It was started by retired NFL player Ricky Proehl with the philosophy of providing opportunities for unlimited free play for children. Additionally, organized sports are available. In the above photo, a youth soccer league is enjoying the weather outside on the fields behind the main facility.Parents and siblings alike sit on the sidelines and cheer on the young players.
It is hard to believe that the weekend is over; adults are back to work and children are back in school. For days where the weather isn't cooperating, Proehlific Park has 60,000 square ft. of space in the indoor facility. Even with the YMCA just down the road, Proehlific Park attracts quite a crowd.
Regardless where you and your children go for exercise, the important thing is to ensure that everyone is staying physically fit-- for life. According to data from North Carolina Public Health, over 62% of adults in Guilford County are overweight or obese. Let's all work together, young and old alike, to defy that statistic.
Great to see so many people in sports together.
