Echo Park Expecting Mamas Walking Group August 6 Walk






Walk around Echo Park Lake 9:30 am Wednesday, August 6.


Come connect with new and expecting mamas while getting in some good exercise!
The spot is across from the Catholic Church. It's where all the paddle boats are.
We will meet at the cafe and wait for about 15 minutes before starting the walk.
We will loop around the lake at least 3 times which equals almost 3 miles.
Feel free to catch up with us at any point.
Please make sure to RSVP so that we know who and if to expect anyone.
