The Savanna Strollers Pinery Walking Club is a partnership between the Friends of Pinery Park, Ontario Parks, the Grand Bend Community Health Center and the Lambton Heritage Museum.
Each week on Wednesday mornings the Savanna Strollers Pinery Walking Club walk / hike a different trail in Pinery Provincial Park. Participants will meet one of our Volunteer Coordinators at the Lambton Heritage Museum South side parking lot at 9:15 am, where the participants will be led in a short warm up and stretching routine before car pooling with others in the group to the walking trail-head. Fast walkers are welcome to do the trail 2 or 3 times to get their steps in. All Welcome!!
