Wednesday Walking Group (Activate Mental Health)
End of Taylor Street carpark, Taylor Street Reserve, Victoria Park., Perth, AUCome and join for a lovely evening walk along the foreshore.
We start at Taylor St car park and either go left and up to the ferry and back, or right and over the beautiful bridges.
Great for mental and physical health!
We’re a great group and would love some more people to join 😊
If you prefer to walk faster or slower there will always be someone to walk with you.
We are a fully inclusive and supportive group. Please don’t worry if you haven’t walked for a while as that is what the group is for. Run by Activate Mental Health, our goal is for everyone to enjoy getting out and getting some movement, meeting new people and feeling good 😊
We meet every Wednesday at 6pm at the end of Taylor St, which comes off Canning Hwy. The street leads straight into a carpark and we’ll be waiting at the end, close to the river.
Please let us know via the group event page if you are running late or won’t be able to make it.
Hope to see you there!
Tobey and Lukas.
