You are invited to celebrate the grand opening of the state’s first Keith Haring Fitness Court located in the historic Belhaven Heights neighborhood!
This is a fitness court and a one-of-a-kind art installation developed by the National Fitness Campaign in partnership with the Keith Haring Foundation. Jackson was selected by the Keith Haring Foundation as one of the national sites for the court in 2019. Though the project received funding, the installation of the project stalled after the equipment was procured due to the pandemic. The equipment had remained in storage since 2019. This year, the Greater Belhaven Foundation proposed relocating the fitness court to Belhaven Heights Park in order to link it with the Museum Trail and to add it to the park’s assets. Thanks to the Belhaven Heights community and our Ward Seven Council women, Virgi Lindsey, the City of Jackson agreed to relocate the court to the Belhaven Heights Park. The Greater Belhaven Foundation’s Community Improvement District committee provided a site design, facilitated work with groundwork contractors, and coordinated with National Fitness Campaign installers. In July, the Keith Haring Fitness Court was finally installed. We hope you will join us on September 26th to celebrate this new treasure in our city!
