2006-08-31 / Events & Calendar

Registration for the Town of Oyster Bay's popular and free Co-ed Fall Walking Program is currently underway and will continue through Monday, September 11, according to Town Councilman Joe Muscarella.

"Walking is an excellent form of exercise that is easy and low-impact, but shows results," Councilman Muscarella said. "It is an ideal form of exercise for people of all ages and fitness levels. Response to the Town-sponsored walking programs over the years has been enthusiastic. People join for the exercise, as well as the socializing."

The Town's Fall Co-Ed Walking Program begins Monday, September 11 and continues through Tuesday, October 31. The program will be held at both Syosset-Woodbury Community Park and at Marjorie R. Post Community Park in Massapequa.

"On Mondays and Wednesdays, beginning September 11, walkers will meet at Syosset-Woodbury Community Park for a 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. walk," the Councilman said. "On Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginning September 12, walkers can enjoy the beautiful scenery at Marjorie R. Post Community Park for a 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. walk. Those who feel they have the energy can sign up for all the courses."

Registration forms can be obtained at all Town Hall and community park facilities and at all local libraries. They should be returned to the park managers or to the Parks Department, Division of Recreation, 977 Hicksville Rd., Massapequa 11758.

"The Town's Co-Ed Walking Program is a great way to get health-promoting exercise and, perhaps, make some new friends," Councilman Muscarella said. "I invite everyone to take advantage of this terrific program."
