Walking has many health benefits, including losing weight, looking and feeling healthier, and possibly decreasing use of prescription medication with a doctor’s recommendation.

Locals are invited to join the St. John Walking Club. The group walks at 5 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Thomas F. Daley Memorial Park, located at 2900 Highway 51 in LaPlace. The group also walks at 5 p.m. each Monday at the Juan Anthony Joseph Memorial Park, located at 3445 Highway 18 in Edgard.
