Join us for a 1.25-mile walk at Reservoir Park!
This Walk With A Doc program is designed to provide some general health information and a moderately-paced walk around Reservoir Park and the National Civil War Museum including a portion of the Greenbelt. It will be a 1.25-mile loop walking around Reservoir Park and the National Civil War Museum.
This is a rain-or-shine event, but can be canceled due to severe weather conditions such as thunderstorms, high winds, ice or snow. We will notify participants 1 hour before the program start time should there be any program changes due to weather.
This walk is on paved roadways, but there are some elevated areas. The full walk is estimated to take about 45 minutes based on the pace of the walkers. We encourage you to come out and join the walk for as long or as little as you are able.
