Lot’s of great free classes available in Riverside Park this summer. First, it was free yoga on Wednesdays through September. Then it was free dance lessons on Sundays in June. Now, the Parks Department is about to kick off free mat pilates on Tuesdays.

Starting tomorrow, instructors from Base Fitness will lead free pilates classes from 6:30 – 7:30 pm, every Tuesday through the end of August.

Classes will take place at the Plaza at 66th Street in Riverside Park South (same location as Wednesday night yoga). Click here for Google Maps if you’re not sure where The Plaza is. I THINK the most direct way to get there is to head to Freedom Place or Riverside Boulevard via 70th or 66th, and then go all the way west to the stairs at 68th street. Take them down to the River and then head south to The Plaza.

Pilates participants should wear loose, comfortable clothing, and bring their own mat. Click here for the official event page.
