Health Walks
Join Friends of Longford Park volunteers in a gentle stroll around the main paths in Longford Park, Stretford. Enjoy the fresh air, company and beautiful surroundings of Trafford’s largest park.
Walking can make a difference. It can be fun, a chance to talk and can help you keep fit. Research has shown that walking in green surroundings can promote a drop in blood pressure and reduce feelings of stress. The walks are especially suitable for people who do not take regular exercise and who might feel unable to access their local green space.
Walks commence at 10:30am at the main entrance gate on Edge Lane (at the junction with Cromwell Road). Walks last about an hour, and are suitable for all abilities. Everyone can walk at their own pace. All you need are a pair of flat shoes and comfortable clothes. Refreshments will be provided at the end of the walk, at Trafford Athletics Stadium (within the park). Walks provided in partnership with Trafford Council as part of the British Heart Foundation Walking Your Way To Health Initiative.
