Walking is a great way to access many destinations in Milwaukie. At a moderate pace it takes just 10 minutes to walk a half mile. Downtown, the Milwaukie Marketplace, your local school or park, are all just a short walk away. Whether you are considering walking for your health or the health of the environment, walking is an easy way to squeeze exercise into your day. According to the Centers for Disease Control, just 30 minutes a day can dramatically improve and extend your life. The latest research shows that walking instead of driving short distances has significant long-term health benefits.
