Welcome to Everly Park Bushland Walkers, a vibrant sports club located in Sydney. With a focus on promoting a healthy heart and a sense of community, our club offers a range of walking groups for individuals of all ages and fitness levels.
At Everly Park Bushland Walkers, we believe that walking is the wonder drug for a healthier heart. Just 30 minutes of walking a day can significantly lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes by 30 to 40 percent. In addition, walking regularly has numerous benefits such as managing weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of developing certain cancers, maintaining bone density, and improving balance and coordination.
Joining our walking groups not only helps you improve your physical health but also allows you to build connexions in your community. Walking towards a healthier heart together, our groups provide a supportive environment where you can meet like-minded individuals who share your passion for an active lifestyle.
Our walking groups are suitable for beginners as well as experienced walkers. Whether you prefer a leisurely stroll or a more brisk pace, we have a group that suits your preferences and fitness level. You can easily find a group near you by searching for a group within a specified radius of your location. Once you've found a group in your area, simply register and get in touch with the Walk Organiser who will provide you with all the information you need to get started.
If you're a healthcare professional looking to complement your care with a structured walking programme, you can refer your patients to our programme. Our motivational programme aligns with national physical activity guidelines and offers a supportive environment for patients to improve their health and well-being.
We also encourage individuals who are passionate about walking and promoting a healthy lifestyle to become Volunteer Walk Organisers. As a Walk Organiser, you will have the opportunity to plan and lead walking routes, determine meeting times, and welcome new members to your group. We provide training and ongoing support to our Walk Organisers, ensuring you have all the tools necessary to create a successful walking group in your community.
