Mitre 10 MEGA buggy walk, Thursday, 7 February, 10.00 am, Harcourt Park.

The Buggy Walks provide caregivers with under 5’s an avenue to socialise, visit buggy-friendly walks, and get fit at the same time. The walks have been created so buggies can navigate the tracks with ease and caregivers can discover new places to visit with their young ones. These walks are part of a series of monthly events during the year which are held around the Wellington region. This month, its Upper Hutt’s turn to show off the beautiful scenery of Harcourt Park and the surrounding area.

The team will be meeting from 10.00 am at the play grounds in Harcourt Park. Walk commences at 10.30 am and will be roughly and hour in duration. There will be coffee from L'Affare and snacks from Southern Cross Restaurant & Bar.
