Colin Glen - Get Healthy!
Colin Glen Forest Park is a linear park, making it a great place for you to build up your fitness levels.
This walk allows you to set yourself a time goal and simply turn back when half the allocated time is up. You can then attempt to break your own record for distance walked!
There are a number of seats along the park for you to have a well earned break from your healthy walking.
