Lifelong Recreation
Sound Steps Walking Program

The purpose of the Sound Steps Walking Program is:
To increase physical activity and social connection by working with people age 50 and older in a member-directed community walking program that is accessible and welcoming to all.

Are you:

50 years or better?
Ready to get active?
Wanting a free, supported walking program?

Then Sound Steps is for you!

Sound Steps is a volunteer supported walking program with Seattle Parks and Recreation, Lifelong Recreation. This program is designed to get adults age 50+ moving and gaining the health benefits of regular exercise.

Participants in this FREE, year-round program are connected to other walkers on their level and given tools to measure progress. Encouragement comes from the support of volunteer walk leaders and regular check-ins.

Sound Steps offers weekly walking groups from a variety of locations, monthly hikes, and a training program (from February through June) to participate in a 5K, 10K and Half Marathon Walk event.
