National Take a Walk In the Park Day

Take a Walk in the Park Day is celebrated annually on March 30, which encourages all of us to invest in our health through joyful movement! Who doesn’t like spending some quiet time in nature? All you have to do is wear some comfortable shoes, find a walking partner (or not), and go for a peaceful walk in one of your preferred parks.

Did you know that there are 423 national park sites in the U.S.? Taking a walk at a local park is an excellent way to clear one’s mind from the stresses of the day, re-energize, and at the same time, improve health. During your walk, take the opportunity to capture a beautiful photograph, compose an original poem, or have an uninterrupted conversation.
