About Our Program
Park Walk Middle Branch is the first phase of Park Walk Baltimore, a new, innovative, interactive project, providing a new source of funding for parks while promoting better health, better fitness, and a better environment. It is a public private partnership that will make people’s lives more vibrant and help the business community become stronger with a more productive workforce and lower health care costs. Park Walk Baltimore will be followed by Park Walk cities and states across the country. Baltimore will be the first of many cities and states across America that will receive much needed financial support in today's environment of declining budgets and cutbacks. Park Walk Baltimore will use GREEN POWER to improve the health and fitness of its residents and the quality of life for their environment.
Park Walk Baltimore is divided into 4 sections: Park Walk Shopping, For Your Health, For Your Fitness, and For A Greener Environment: that will empower people, communities, businesses, and nonprofits to be catalysts for change
Park Walk America develops healthy people, healthy communities, healthy businesses, and a healthy environment
