Wayne Walks Walking Club encourages social activity, while visiting new places, and making friends while setting attainable goals for a healthy lifestyle!
Group walks are one mile in length and suitable for all age groups. Visit local parks and discover walking trails you never knew existed!
We are looking for routine walkers to become neighborhood walk leaders. You get to pick the walk time and location of your choice. Inquire with Parks & Recreation by email or phone 973-694-1800 x 3260.
