Here’s another announcement from the folks at Public Works and Parks and Recreation: The 2009 Spring Walking Program is ready to go.

The first walk will begin at 9 a.m. Monday, April 6, at the Whipple Street entrance to Mine Falls Park. The program will run through June 5. All walks will begin at 9.

On Mondays, walkers should meet at the Whipple Street entrance to Mine Falls Park. On Wednesdays, the meeting place is the Lincoln Park entrance to Mine Falls.

On Fridays, meet at the Gilson Road parking lot for the Nashua River Rail Trail.

To get to the parking lot, take Countryside Drive off of West Hollis Street. Gilson Road is at the end of Countryside, and the parking lot is near the intersection.
