To kick-off spring, the Greater Fall River Re-Creation Committee held its annual Spring Sprint on April 29, 2006. Starting at the Municipal Veterans Memorial at 72 Bank Street, dozens of walkers headed down Central Street to the boardwalk at Heritage Park. The walk continued along the boardwalk to Bicentennial Park where it doubled back to Bank Street. Thousands of dollars were raised for programs at Community Development Recreation, including a $1,000 check presented by Fall River Bank Five.
