The Longford and Firswood Strollers
Every last Sunday of the month
Join us in a gentle stroll around the main paths of Longford Park. Enjoy the fresh air, company and beautiful surroundings.
Walks are on the last Sunday of the month. Walks commence 10.30am at the main entrance gate on Edge Lane (at the junction with Cromwell Road) M32 8PX. Walks last about one hour and are suitable for all abilities. Everyone can walk at their own pace. Wear suitable flat shoes. Refreshments will be provided at the end of the walk at Trafford Athletics Stadium within the park.
Walks are provided in partnership with Trafford Borough Council as part of the British Heart Foundation Walking Your Way to Health Initiative.
