Oak Park Walks Campaign

In line with the nationwide focus on increasing activity to reduce obesity, the Department of Public Health, in collaboration with the West Cook YMCA, the Park District of Oak Park, Rush Oak Park Hospital and West Suburban Medical Center, is launching a Village-wide campaign in to promote walking — the cheapest and most convenient form of exercise. The Oak Park Walks Campaign is designed and dedicated to improving health among Oak Park residents by encouraging individuals to grab some water, sunscreen and a comfortable pair of shoes to take advantage of the cheapest and most convenient form of exercise around.

More information on the program, scheduled to begin in June, will be posted here as it becomes available. In the meantime, check out the useful links along the right margin for information about the benefits of physical activity, including walking, and how to get started on a walking program.
