Whittier~Enjoy summer and early fall mornings outdoors with pleasant exercise and companionship during the Activate Whittier monthly Walking Club monthly jaunts.

Designed for walkers of all ages and fitness levels, the Walking Club is a great way to get into the habit of walking as exercise.  Families, teens, adults and seniors can all enjoy a summer morning and meet new people at the same time.

The Activate Whittier" program is co-sponsored by the Whittier Community Services Department, the Whittier YMCA, Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital and the Los Angeles County Health Department to encourage fitness and health for Whittier residents, and the Walking Club is one of its activities.

The Walking Club meets at the Palm Park Greenway Trailhead at 8 a.m. the second Saturday of each month.  Summer and fall club dates are July 11, August 8, September 12 and October 10.  The club is free and open to all.  Walking dates are subject to cancellation in the event of inclement weather.

Staff from the Community Services Department and the YMCA will be at the walks to assist and coordinate participants.
