According to the National Institutes of Health, walking can “lower your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. It can strengthen your bones and muscles. It may help you maintain a healthy weight. It might also help lift your mood.” Worcester is full of fantastic parks, trails, and places to walk alone or with a group.
Thank you to the town of Berlin, Snow Hill, Pocomoke, Worcester County Recreation and Parks, Assateague State Park, and Shad Landing State Park for their continued support and their efforts to keep our parks beautiful and accessible.
