Walk+Roll™ raises awareness of our parks and greenspaces, the culture and history of our community, and encourages healthy, active lifestyles.
Join us as we celebrate Lakewood’s walkability and its finest assets: a vibrant downtown, historic architecture and a spectacular Lake Erie park.
Two-miles of streets in the heart of our urban community will be closed for walking, running, strolling, bicycling, blading and socializing. Programming includes tumbling, dancing, aerobics, yoga, a bike rodeo, skateboard demonstrations and more. All activities are free and will take place on the streets or in Lakewood Park. Visitors will have the opportunity to join “classes” on an impromptu basis. This is a progressive and unique event for health, environmental and community-minded Ohioans.
With more than 185 miles of sidewalks within 5.5 sq miles, Lakewood is considered by many to be Ohio’s most walkable city. Visit the nation’s #1 library, walk or bike down to the lakefront, note our beautiful homes and return for dinner in the downtown district. Come experience wonderful, walkable, Lakewood on July 19th!

Community friends, thanks to Lois Moss, founder of Walk +Roll, here is a link to the Bogata Columbia video clip which demonstrates the vision we have for Walk+Roll Lakewood. http://www.streetfilms.org/archives/ciclovia/ Cleveland is mentioned at the very end as being a world leader in hosting an event such as this. This is an exciting branding opportunity for our city at a time when car-optional living and the health benefits of active living have never been more evident.
