Placerville Recreation and Parks
The City of Placerville Recreation and Parks has a variety of classes to get your feet moving and your heart rate up this month—from kickboxing, Pilates and “Balates,” to Zumba Gold and women’s self-defense.
If you’re looking for a mind-body connection that delivers perspective, sign up for Feldenkrais®, yoga, tai chi or “Body and Breath.” Various taekwondo classes for kids and adults, as well as a table tennis club, and a potpourri of dance classes for all ages (waltz, swing, tango, tap, jazz, ballet, etc.) are also available. There’s no excuse not to move!
Head to Placerville’s historic Gold Bug Park on July 15 from 4:30-8 p.m. for Murder at Gold Bug Mine, a "who dunnit" murder-mystery dinner party that doubles as a fund-raiser. Enjoy wine and special tastings by Nello Olivo Winery, live theatrical entertainment and more. Tickets are limited and available at Placerville News Company and the El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce. Western wear is encouraged.
