Go at your own pace or get motivated by joining an inspiring group of people who’ve grown the program into a small community. Walk on either carpeted or tile flooring and maybe share a story or two.
To join, sign up at the Parks table, next to the horse fountain on retail level 2 (located between Crate & Barrel and Urban Outfitters) on Tuesday and Friday mornings during the program.
Admission and parking* are free for all registered members of the mall walk program.
*Registered Mall Walkers enjoy free parking from 8 a.m. – noon on Tuesdays and Fridays.
