What we’re about

The Board Walks are a second home for curious, kind, and open-minded people who love meaningful conversations. If that sounds like you, join us on Saturday to walk 5 miles (10,000 steps!).

Please bring a thoughtful topic to share with the group.

Think of your topic like the dish you'd bring to your grandma's potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish, then we'll create the most epic potluck on the planet. Be a good egg and make your grandma smile.
To get a vibe check, read this and stories on our site: “Every walk is like a full college course and a fan club for the latest show all in 2 hours on the trail.”

FAQs:

We meet in front of the Blank Street by the grassy area of the parkhouse.
Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends from out of town... if you believe they'd resonate with our values and love meaningful chats, bring 'em all.
We have multiple first-timers on each walk and work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
Rain or shine, we’ve been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.

Logistics:

If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we kindly suggest that you skip the event and join us another time. It's hard to find us once we start walking. One of our goals is to create a "phone free" space, which means that everyone (including the host!) will be fully present; we can't help you find us if you arrive late.
We do not share the route. The magic only happens if everyone joins on time to hear our Ground Rules.
If you enjoy this event, we'd LOVE if you told a friend. Over 16,000 people have joined us, and we’re grateful you’re one of them. We are currently in 7+ cities with more on the way. 🤠✨

From Your Host:

I’m your walk host Sarah. 👋 I’m so excited to bring this beautiful walk to Brooklyn!

It all started back in July 2022, when a group of curious people showed up at a coffee shop and walked 5 miles together in Austin, Texas. Since then, thousands of people have joined us on the trail.

And now, we’re bringing our walks to New York City, thee place for meaningful conversations and new friendships. I, like many others, moved here for the dense concentration of incredible people and conversations, yet found myself craving community with like-minded folks, preferably outdoors (probably the islander in me haha). These walks are designed to be a home for those beautiful connections we’re all seeking.

Reach out to me, your walk host Sarah, with any questions, suggestions, or celebrations! ✨
