Guided Community Walks

Step into wellness and connection with the City of Mount Pearl’s guided walking programs. Led by our Municipal Enforcement Officers, these weekly walks are a great way to stay active, meet others, and enjoy our extensive trail network in a safe and welcoming environment.

Social Walks (Tuesdays)
Our Social Walks are open to everyone—whether you’re walking with friends, family, or on your own. These casual, guided walks are focused on connection, conversation, and enjoying the outdoors at a comfortable pace.

Safe Seniors Walks (Thursdays)
Designed for older adults, Safe Seniors Walks provide a supportive and inclusive setting to stay active. Routes are selected with accessibility and comfort in mind, with clear details provided on distance and terrain.

What to Expect
• Guided by Municipal Enforcement Officers
• A variety of scenic trails across Mount Pearl
• A welcoming, community-focused atmosphere
No registration is required—just show up and walk!

Walk Levels

To ensure everyone can participate safely, we have defined three levels of difficulty:

  • 1- Very easy: Straight, flat, hard-packed or paved surface.
  • 2- Easy to Medium: Small rises/mostly flat, may include boardwalks, hard-packed or paved surfaces.
  • 3 – Moderate: Small rises or dips, a mixture of surfaces, may take slightly longer.

Safe Seniors Mug-Ups

Our Safe Seniors Mug-ups take place on the last walk of every month. Come for the walk, stay for the company and the good cheer!
