Our Welderlies Walks pilot project to improve our physical and mental health took off on Monday 23rd August, weekly until it was suspended at the end of November.
So far a total of 10 of us have participated in walks at different times from 2-3pm each week. We have been refreshed from walks at various local parks namely…
- South Norwood Country Park
- Brickfields Meadow
- South Norwood Recreation Centre
- Wandle Park
- Lloyd Park
- Crystal Palace Park
- Coombe Garden Park
We have paid more than one visit to nearly all of them in order to appreciate their beauty and uniqueness. Having learnt that Croydon has over 120 parks we still have over a hundred more to explore. Still we have enjoyed the fresh breeze, different sceneries, friendly people we came across and learnt a lot about Croydon. We hope you enjoy the photos we are displaying on the 6 parks we have visited.
