Title, Resolve
Accepting the Donation of a FitLot from the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) to be installed at
Broadway Park.
This resolve will allow for the acceptance of a donation from AARP for a FitLot, which is a cluster of
outdoor fitness equipment. As part of AARP’s 60th anniversary celebration National AARP decided to
"give back" and advance healthy living initiatives in all 50 states. Each AARP state office was asked
to nominate a municipality. The City of Bangor’s, Livable Age Friendly Community Committee’s,
on-going work has made Bangor an ideal location for this amenity. Bangor was the only community
in Maine chosen for a "Fitlot" to be located in Broadway Park. This donation includes the equipment,
the installation, as well as other amenities around the perimeter of the equipment. This was
approved at the May 6th meeting of the Government Operations Committee meeting.
