Great places for a walk

Let’s face it – we have all been snowed in for the last couple of months. Since spring has officially arrived, the weather is perfect for walking around our neighborhoods and local parks. Walking is a great way to work off those winter pounds, get yourself in shape, and look great for the summer months.

Many of us walk around our neighborhoods and developments, and never seem to think of visiting local parks for a “change of scenery”. Walking in parks and on trails through the woods takes your mind off of the idea of “exercising”, which in turn will make your walk a very enjoyable and entertaining experience. Listening to the birds, watching wildlife, and even taking the time to smell the flowers will enlighten and enhance your walk to the next level.

Throughout Bucks County, there are some great parks where you can enjoy your walk, play some tennis, or even take part in a guided tour of the grounds. Some of those parks are Silver Lake Park and Nature Center, Tinicum Park, Lake Towhee Park and Peace Valley Park.

If you are thinking of moving to Yardley, Washington Crossing or Doylestown, call me today at 215-519-1399 or visit my website for more information.
