Our friends at Feet First want YOU to find a way to march during the month of March, 2021:
Hi Kent Walkers of all ages,
Feet First wants to encourage you to:
KEEP WALKING THROUGH WINTER!
Each month over the winter, Feet First features a different walk in or close to Kent. You can enjoy these walks any day you wish to go, in your own time.
CINDY & JANICE ARE OUR MARCH FEET FIRST WALKERS OF THE MONTH. THEIR RECOMMENDED WALK FOR MARCH:
Walk the Soos Creek Trail south from Gary Grant Park
LOCATION: Gary Grant Park, SE 208th Street, Kent. (first left after 136th Ave. SE); Find on Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/fpAzzBwbsYF2
WALK DETAILS:
From the park take the crosswalk over SE 208th Street and continue south along the Soos Creek Trail. There are some good views on a fine day.
DISTANCE: Walk up to 3.0 miles round trip (or more or less if you prefer) at your own speed.
FEATURES: What Cindy and Janice like about this walk is:
”Many ducks were observed and it is quiet and peaceful. Easy to travel to this walk from Kent.”
ACCESS: All the trail is paved and flat, so is suitable for those using wheelchairs, strollers etc.
WALKING WITH FEET FIRST: Cindy and Janice say: “Feet First walks give us a chance to socialize outside with our friends during the pandemic.”
