“Shoreline Walks” Community Walking Program starts in April

Mark your calendars; April 11th is the first Shoreline Walks walk for 2015.

Shoreline Walks is a free community walking program designed to help Shoreline adults stay active, meet new people (or connect with old friends), and feel safer and more confident exploring our city by foot.

Walks explore neighborhoods, parks, and trails, offering great insight into some of the best walking routes in our City. Specifically designed for adults ages 50+, but open to all ages and abilities, each walk is led by a Volunteer Walk Leader and all walks are free to the public.

Shoreline Walks is part of the City’s Healthy City initiative and is one of many efforts it is making to support a healthy community.
