Parks: Made for Walking

Join us at the International Urban Parks Conference in NYC, July 14-17, 2012. Get more information at http://www.urbanparks2012.org.

Parks are an essential component of any city's infrastructure. They play a vital role in improving the social, economic and physical well being of urban areas and its residents. Parks, greenways and trails are important in making a community walkable; they provide relief from urban stresses and bring people together, plus they are free to use and safe. Learn more about the development of urban parks and green spaces and their positive impact on our communities.

Get started / start with 5 , 10, or 15minutes / there are countless benefits / We are ambassador in the Balance Walking program - grab your poles and go - the perceived exertion is that of regular walking, yet the pulse can average to 7 - 15 beats higher - Wow, you have to love that ;) 1 mile with the poles can deliver near to what 2miles of regular walking.

What ever you decide - Walk and enjoy

We are very fortunate that here in Auckland we have many fantastic parks and reserves - by the harbour, creeks and with wonderful views. We utilise the green spaces within our walk guides at Short Walks in Auckland.
