Itinerary:

Anyone need a rehab hike . . .  something slow and easy . . . with a chance to socialize a bit with other members? This hike will be short and decidedly slow, so please don't register if you're looking for a workout today. (You can jog around the loop after we finish our hike if you want to work up a sweat!) 

East Cobb Park is a local park that folks love for the wide asphalt loop around the park, the children's playground, the pavilions, the open grassy areas, and the wooded trails that can add some interesting variety to the route for those who want to be more adventurous..  If one ventures across a creek bridge to the far end of the park, it actually connects to Fuller's Park, which is a large athletic park off Robinson Road.  For this event, we'll stick to the asphalt loop which is smooth and free of obstacles.

We'll gather in the upper parking lot near the pavilion by the stairs.  Turn right into the lot and then left to the end of the parking lot. We'll then make our way down to the asphalt path and walk around the loop  a couple of times, depending on our time.  

This is a great event for true beginners and for those who can't handle elevation or speed. We won't be going fast, and the route isn't challenging. Dogs are welcome, but must be kept on leash at all times. 

There are bathrooms close to the park entrance.
