Durham Parks and Recreation invites youth between the ages of 8 and 12 to join an exciting and interactive nutrition workshop at the W.D. Hill Recreation Center. Taking place on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, this engaging session is designed to make healthy eating both fun and practical. Throughout the event, participants will explore the basics of MyPlate and balanced nutrition through age-appropriate lessons that empower them to make better food choices.
