Event benefits and ideas

Walking is a low cost way to be active. It's an activity that increases community vibrancy by putting more 'eyes on our streets'.

Organising a walking event at your workplace or within the community is great fun but will also help reduce traffic congestion and pollution.

Some great community event ideas:

A community walk on a chosen route finishing with local entertainment

  • A lunch time walk with office colleagues
  • A guided historic walk in your local community
  • A walk to the park for a local community BBQ, breakfast or picnic
  • A family walk for mothers, fathers, children and grandparents

For more information on how you can increase your walking and become more active within your community, visit Places to Walk in WA or join a walking group in your area and walk with other people.
