Orange Beach, Ala. — (OBA) —  National Parks and Recreation Month is wrapping up in Orange Beach, and the city is going out strong. Orange Beach Parks and Recreation has lined up a final round of events to close out the month-long celebration. The city has spent July honoring the role of community and belonging.

The highlight of the final stretch is the Superhero Fitness Class Expo, set for Saturday, July 26, 2025. The event runs from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Recreation Center gymnasium. Staff from the Orange Beach Fitness Center will lead the event. Admission is free to the public.

There is also a fun twist for those who want to get into the spirit. Costumes are highly encouraged at the event. Attendees are welcome to dress as their favorite superhero and come ready to move. The costume element is optional but adds to the day's festive atmosphere.

The Superhero Fitness Class Expo is the latest in a series of events Orange Beach Parks and Recreation has hosted throughout July.
