Join us for a walk from City Island along the Harrisburg Riverfront and back. The full walk is approximately 2.5 miles. 

This Walk With A Doc program is designed to provide some general health information and a moderately-paced walk. This is a FREE walk, but we ask that you pre-register. This walk is appropriate for all ages and children are welcome to attend but should be accompanied by a responsible adult. Dogs are welcome as long as they are on a leash. The program topic and the doctor leading the walk will be announced closer to the program date. All programs are on various educational health and wellness topics but are not meant to replace the healthcare advice of your primary care provider. 

Walk Leader: Dr. Everett Hills

Walk Topic: Handling Emergencies 101

Handout

Most of the walk will be flat, but there may be some slightly elevated areas. We encourage you to come out and join the walk for as long or as little as you can. It will be an out-and-back walk with a length of approximately 2.5 miles. You can also stay and walk around City Island if you would like to walk further on your own.

This walk is being organized by Penbrook Borough Walk With A Doc group, Capital Area Greenbelt Association, Susquehanna Township Walk With A Doc, and Dauphin County Parks & Recreation Department. We would like to thank the City of Harrisburg Parks & Recreation Department for allowing the use of the park for this walk. 

This walk is being supported as part of the Park Rx programs sponsored by Highmark Blue Shield and supported by Penn State Health.
