Nordic walking is a total body version of walking that can be enjoyed both by non-athletes as a health-promoting physical activity, and by athletes as a sport. The activity is performed with specially designed walking poles similar to ski poles. Westville Recreation has sets of Nordic Walking Poles available to be signed out at the Town Hall. If you want to give Nordic Walking a try come and visit us to borrow a pair!
