PARTNER EVENT

Join us every 2nd and 4th Wednesday for Just Walk, a program of DeKalb County and Walk with a Doc. The program is led by Carolyn Hartfield, a Certified Health Coach who offers conversation on current health topics. This walking group aims to make hope and health accessible to everyone in our community. Come enjoy a healthy walk, great conversations, and meet new friends. We will walk the boardwalk between Mason Mill Park and N. Druid Hills Rd for a total of 2 miles. This walk is also hybrid program with walkers joining in person at Mason Mill Park and via Zoom from around the country. If you'd like to join the group virtually while you walk at your own home or local park, email ch@carolynhartfield.com for the Zoom link. The full program lasts just over 1 hour.

Find Carolyn at the South Peachtree Creek trailhead near the Mason Mill Tennis Center (McConnell Dr & Mason Mill Rd). We will gather in the parking lot by the Pickleball/Tennis courts. Wear appropriate footwear, dress for the weather, and bring a refillable water bottle and hiking sticks if you need them. Public restrooms are near the playground. Bathrooms are also available at DeKalb Tennis Center when the Pro Shop is open (top of the purple pyramid). This program content is designed for adults. Leashed dogs are welcome.

Trail surface & accessibility: Walking distance: Just under 2 miles. This walk is mostly under tree canopy, but a few sections are exposed to sun and wind. This program will be held rain or shine, unless conditions are dangerous. This program stays on durable surfaces (concrete & boardwalk) the whole time. There are a few places where the grade is slightly above 5%. Trail width is greater than 10 feet and curb cuts provide appropriate transitions between surfaces. Boardwalk railings are 5 feet tall, but gaps between rails allow for obstructed views. Questions if this program will work for your mobility? Contact Ranger Jonah: jpmcdonald@dekalbcountyga.gov.
