Please Don't Smoke in Arlington Parks Arlington County values a safe and healthy environment. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, there is no safe threshold of exposure to second-hand smoke. The Smoke-Free Park Initiative asks park patrons to respect our community values and refrain from smoking within 50 feet of areas of congregation in our parks such as ball fields, pavilions and playgrounds. Show your support by taking your picture in front of the Please No Smoking signs in our parks giving a thumbs up to no smoking, and post it on the PRCR Facebook page.		Gardening and Nutrition for Apartment Dwellers Virginia Cooperative Extension led an effort to help engage residents of Virginia Gardens Apartments in physical activity and healthy eating through the creation of their own garden. Programs in both gardening and nutrition were provided to connect residents to the land and to promote healthy lifestyles. Read more about how you can start a gardening and nutrition program at your apartment complex.
