Connell Park Walking Club

Connell Park Walking Club Community walking group that meets in Connell Park in Scranton, PA on Saturdays at 10am. Free. All ages and skill levels welcome.

We are a Chapter of the Walk With a Doc program (https://walkwithadoc.org/) located at Connell Park, 800 Gibbons St Scranton, PA. Each Saturday at 10 am, we meet for a for a walk led by someone in your healthcare community. We are about joining members in our community, of all ages and abilities, to discuss health related topics and learn about growing healthier together. Each week we hear a short

presentation from someone in your healthcare community, who then joins us in some stretches before walking a trail through Connell Park. Roughly a mile-long you can choose your group and either remain on the paved walkways going around the dog park, or walk through the wooded paths, which are well worn and easy to navigate, all the while having access to health professionals who can answer your questions! Join us rain or shine, hot or cold, we are ready to go!

This weekend is jam-packed with events!
We are doing the City Nature Challenge with Pocono Heritage Land Trust, or PHLT, as our big Celebrate Trail Day event!

For anyone with a smart phone, you can download the iNaturalist app ahead of our walk (details in the link below). Our speaker, Matt from the PHLT will give a brief tutorial on the app before we head into the trails and log all the plants, bugs and animals we come across!

Anyone not doing this 'bio blitz' will have a chance to help clean up our trails with provided gloves and bags. Or just enjoy the beauty of it all!

Will we see you at the City Nature Challenge on Celebrate Trails Day?

The goal is to walk for at least 21 minutes a day, in recognition of Walk With A Doc's 21 Year Anniversary. Or aim high like David, who walked 1,960 minutes during last year's challenge and landed in the top 25% nation wide!

Our 10am Saturday walks are about 45 minutes, so you can mark that day off when you join us. Visit the Walk With A Doc site to register:

What a great first walk we had! Dr. Tom Roe kicked us off with a talk about heart health, reminding us of key ways to keep our hearts beating strong.
Our first outing in the trails was adventurous, with some muddy patches and puddles to navigate, but we conquered it together!

Can't wait to see you again tomorrow!
