This walking program is a fun and safe place to take a walk (at your pace), learn health tips from local healthcare professionals, and meet new people. The event is FREE and all are welcome!
Walking is SO GOOD for you! It is low impact and easier on the joints than running. Walking is safe and helpful for people with orthopedic ailments, heart conditions, and those who are overweight. Walk with a Doc is a program for everyone interested in taking steps for a healthier lifestyle. In the first few minutes you will learn about a health topic from a professional, then spend the rest of the hour enjoying a nice walk in nature and fun conversation. It’s a great way to get out, get active, and enjoy all the benefits that come from walking. You will walk at your own pace and comfortable distance.

Get some fresh air and exercise… and give back to an amazing park that serves tens of thousands of visitors each year.
You will be helping to care for the trails by improving erosion structures, raking and digging out the ditches next to trails or cutting brush. Your work will keep the trails from eroding and make sure people can explore the park.
Please wear sturdy shoes (no sandals) and long pants. If you have a favorite pair of gardening gloves, please bring them. Please bring at least a liter of water as well. We will provide all the tools and training you’ll need. No experience necessary.Â
