We invite you to join regular walks with the Marquette Park Wellness Walkers!
Join fellow community members as we get our steps in at Marquette Park! Walks are sponsored by Friends of the Parks and partners, and are focused on getting our steps in and enjoying the park with fellow community members.
Some walks may be themed according to the group's interests and priorities. This means some walks could include bird watching, meditation, journaling, cleaning & greening, step counting, stretching, power walking/jogging, etc. During these first couple walks, we'll have conversations and surveys to determine the group's interests. Regular walkers will receive gear to support them as they participate and get their steps in!
