“Let’s Take a WALK in the PARK”

Apr 4th “Let’s Take a WALK in the PARK”

“Go Take a Walk” – Did ever someone, say that to you?”

NATIONAL TAKE A WALK IN THE PARK DAY – March 30

NATIONAL TAKE A WALK IN THE PARK DAY

National Take A Walk In The Park Day is observed annually on March 30th. After a long busy day, a calming and therapeutic way to relax would be a nice, leisurely walk in the park.

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, to improve health.

During a walk, the opportunity to capture a beautiful photograph, compose an original poem, or have an uninterrupted conversation may arise. The chance to lose track of time and run into a familiar face could occur, too. When taking a walk in the park, all sorts of pleasant surprises could blossom.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Go out for a walk in the park. Enjoy nature’s beauty and being outside. Use #TakeAWalkInTheParkDay to post on social media.

HISTORY

Our research was unable to find the creator and the origin of National Take A Walk In The Park Day.

This is in “Fairgrounds Park” – MAYBE 1943? ME, Mary Ellen in the middle and with no shirt on is brother, “TOMMY” and brother, “DENNY” in the long pants and a shirt.

This is ME, in the “O’Fallon Park”, North Saint Louis, Missouri – maybe – 1954?

If you LIKE to WALK – then the PARK is the best place to get plenty of fresh air and walk as fast, or as slow and still get the exercise, FREE – that – you need to keep healthy, wealthy, and wise! D.V.
