[Durham INC] Exercising, more in-kind donating & more

[Laura Drey]

Exercising at Durham Parks & Recreation Department facilities (prices good
as of November 2009)

“Durham Parks and Recreation operates two indoor, eight-lane pools offering
a number of water programs including exercise/fitness, swim lessons, swim
teams, lap swim and family swim. Both pools now have portable aquatic lifts
to assist patrons who may not have the ability to access the pool via
vertical ladders and stair systems. We also maintain outdoor seasonal pools
for individuals and families to enjoy unstructured water facilities.”
