One Plus One at 11:00AM on Mondays and Wednesdays
Join us to take a leisurely stroll in Central Park with fellow CHV members. It's a wonderful chance to get outside and meet some new neighbors.
Every Monday and Wednesday we walk about a mile together at whatever pace suits you. We encourage everyone, no matter if you use a walker or your own two feet, to stroll along with us.
At the start, we break into smaller groups, often duos or trios, traveling 6 feet apart at different paces to accommodate everyone.
Do feel free to bring a friend from the Carnegie Hill neighborhood to enjoy the seasonal beauty of the park with us.
Just show up!
When: Wednesdays and Mondays at 11:00AM
Where: North Side of the Engineer's Gate on Fifth Avenue at 90th Street
