Bikes rides range in distance and vary in routes.

Add up your physical activities mileage in a month to help add up to a Marathon. Use this spreadsheet to update your activities.

Meet ups occur in the warmer months.

Annually yard signs are displayed throughout the community to encourage residents to not use tobacco products.

Meet ups occur monthly with genres rotating based on participant interests. Sometimes the book is discussed. ;-)

Monthly events happen mostly in the warmer months.

A Healthy recipe is posted monthly on the HWH Facebook Page and then shared.
Our goal is to include recipes online here, as well.

Monthly scripts are made available via Zoom for neighbors to rotate reading lines. Scripts are written or adapted by a talented resident.

The City of Knoxville hosts an annual Wiffleball tournament in September for neighborhoods to get together and compete.

We are always in search of a new way to get neighbors together. It can be a physical activity, a mental event, food-related or a tobacco cessation idea. Reach out to us BELOW to share your idea.
Send a specific question or request to be added to the monthly HWH email schedule.

Courts are reserved with the City of Knoxville's Parks and Recreation Department, and the rain date is set for Saturday, November 22, 2025. The one-day event will be covered by a TIS insurance policy.
Volunteer pickleball coaches will run 6 different skills stations at the start of the clinic and participants will rotate among them at the director's instruction. Afterward, the courts will be used for participants to test their new or improved skills in pickleball matches with each other and the coaches.
Cost is $20 per participant 16 years and older. Younger participants can have their parent register them for FREE.
Bring your paddle, water bottle, sun protection and a chair. If you need to borrow a pickleball paddle, mention that on the registration form. Balls will be provided. Reusable water bottles will be given to participants and coaches by Noell Lewis of Edward Jones Investments.
Register for the clinic by Wednesday, October 15 at REGISTRATION LINK.
