Wellness Walks @ Promontory Point w/ The University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine

University of Chicago Pritzker medical students lead 45-minute weekly park walks at Promontory Point and hold informal discussions on health-related topics. Walk with us!


Wellness Walks

The Chicago Parks Foundation supports the movement of ‘parks as good medicine.’
Get outside with us and join our seasonal Wellness Walks. They’re good for you and good for our parks! 

Medical pros lead 45-min park walks and informal discussions on health-related topics like sleep, nutrition, and exercise. CPF is proud to partner with students and healthcare providers from local medical institutions to lead our walking program. 

Wellness Walks are a free, low-pressure way to get some movement, connect with fellow community members, learn about your own health, and enjoy your beautiful parks!
