It’s time for a walk! (Isn’t it always time for a walk?) It’s fun. It gets you out of the house. You get the chance to talk to people you normally wouldn’t chat with. And it keeps you healthier.
Join the other Walkers and Talkers for the June Walk-n-Talk which will take everyone on a loop around Lake Burien and then back to Town Square.
This is a FREE activity and draws people of many ages. Just come chat with people you wouldn’t otherwise meet up with!
Date: Sunday, June 2, 2013 (Rain or shine.)
Time: Meet-up at 2:00. Walking starts at 2:15.
Place: Meet on the grassy knoll in Burien Town Square Park. 400 SW 152nd St.
Who: Walkers of every level and ability
(dogs are welcome, too.)
Distance: About 2.25 miles, round trip, mostly flat, with some sidewalks.
Route: From Burien City Hall/Public Library at Burien Town Square, west around Lake Burien, and back to Town Square Park.
(Please click on the map for a larger view, then print it out and bring it with you to the walk.)
Intentions for Burien’s Walk-n-Talk:
- “Encourage active living to support physical and mental health.” (Part of Burien’s “Vision”.)
- Initiate conversation between friends and neighbors, new and old.
Just moved from Seattle, where Seattle Parks sponsors two groups of walkers, walking once a week during a regular weekday morning. Is anyone interested in joining me for a similar group in Burien? Please contact me at laurakgould@comcast.net.
