Nature Walk for Health - Limehouse Loop

Spending time in nature reduces your risk of cardiovascular disease.

A review of 143 scientific studies showed that spending more time in green space cuts your overall risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

Increasing outdoor time for your health is so well proven, that nature is being adopted worldwide as a health intervention and in Canada, healthcare providers can even write you a prescription for it, with BC Parks Foundation's PaRx program. Nature is becoming the fourth pillar of health just as important for staying healthy as good nutrition, regular exercise and sleep.

Whether or not you have a PaRx Nature prescription, we can help.
Here's how:

Our Walk April 22, 2025
(You must register online to join this walk.)

We'll walk a figure eight loop, go through the hole-in-the-wall at least once, pass through wooded sections, while trying not to trip on tree roots. One stream crossing, a few hills and some road walking on a quiet side road before entering Limehouse C.A. for the second loop.

Length: 8 km. Pace: moderate to fast.  Terrain: 2

Meet at 110 Rockmosa Drive, Rockwood, the Rockmosa Community Hall, next to the tennis courts at 8:50 AM for a 9:00 AM departure to the trailhead.

Trailhead is the public parking lot on 22nd side road, opposite Limehouse Public School.

Bring water, snacks, hiking poles recommended. Dress for the weather. No dogs please.
