In the spirit of Healthy Huntsville, Mayor Tommy Battle and his department will head out on a 1-mile walk in downtown Huntsville today, March 27, at 4:30 p.m.  Plan to arrive about 10 minutes early wearing good walking shoes!

Prior to the City’s “Department Head Walk,” Mayor Battle and the Parks & Recreation department will hold a brief News Conference to present the new Healthy Huntsville downtown walking routes.

The department has created a new map for citizens showing 1, 2, 3, and 5 mile routes, and they have painted arrows on the sidewalks to help walkers find their way. 

See you this afternoon, March 27, at 4:30 p.m., Big Spring Park East, Church Street, by the “red bicycle” in front of the YMCA.
