Mall Walk
The Mall Walking Club meets every Tuesdays and Fridays, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at The Westchester in White Plains. It’s a great way to exercise no matter what the weather is outside. 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.
