Walk NYC

Walk NYC program participants

Walk NYC is a FREE program that encourages New Yorkers of all ages to get fit while enjoying the outdoors. With funding provided by Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, Parks will staff locations throughout the city with trained walking instructors to lead one-hour walks (unless otherwise noted).

Walk n’ Roll

Walk n’ Roll is an accessible extension of the Walk NYC fitness program and is adapted to help participants of a variety of physical abilities get fit or stay in shape by walking, or rolling, through the city’s parks. Walk n’ Roll classes are available each week in Battery Park, and at the Thomas Jefferson, St. Mary’s and Von King Recreation Centers.

For more information about Walk NYC or Walk n’ Roll, please email rsvpwalknyc@parks.nyc.gov.
