Elders In Action and Our Partners Want You To Make the Most of Your Summer
Here Are Some Ideas To Get You Started!
City of Portland 's Transportation Options is pleased to offer:
Senior Strolls 2008
Senior Strolls is a program designed to offer older adults an easy, pleasant, social walking experience, and to provide confidence to consider walking as a transportation option. Strolls range from 1 to 2 miles in length. The majority of 2008 strolls will be held in SW Portland; the last stroll of each month (except October) will highlight some of the best from previous years' strolls in other parts of Portland.
