people on outdoor gym equipment in the park

Walk in the Park is an ideal way to increase your activity levels regardless of your age or ability.  The friendly walks are being delivered across Medway so you can enjoy your local green spaces and meet new people.  You are encouraged to walk at your own pace and there are plenty of opportunities for you to stop and rest if you need to.

The routes are circular so you don’t have to keep up with anyone, and we all meet at the beginning and end to make sure you are safe and to give you the opportunity to have a chat with the group if you want to.

The walks can take anywhere between 10 and 30 minutes so you get to decide what feel right for you. There is no charge for the walks as they are led by volunteers and we are always happy to hear from anyone that has a spare hour per week that would like to become a walk leader.
