Join us for a walk in the park!

Why Walk?

Lack of physical activity is one of the biggest causes of illness and death in Scotland.  Keeping active however provides a range of benefits to both an individual's physical and mental health.  This includes:

• Reduced risk of developing heart disease
• Reduced risk of stroke
• Reduced risk of developing certain types of cancer
• Improved self esteem and confidence

Walking is one of the easiest ways to get active!

• Guided Walks
  
  
  • The Park Ranger Service provides guided walks within many of Glasgow's parks.  The guided walks assist members of the public who want to learn more about the background and history of the parks
    
    
• Health Walks
  
  

  • Glasgow City Health Walks is an exciting new project designed to encourage people to take up walking as a gentle form of exercise, giving participants the chance to meet new people and take those first steps towards a healthier lifestyle.
