Get Connected with LV Girls Who Walk
Founder Summer Sakari Polzer launched LV Girls Who Walk at the end of summer 2023, hoping to create a safe space for women to walk together while making connections and new friends. “Walking in nature is so beneficial for our physical and mental health; however, as a female it is not always safe to walk in parks alone,” says Sakari Polzer, noting that she was inspired by a similar group in New York City. “The Lehigh Valley has so many wonderful parks and so many women I know are looking for social activities that don’t require tons of time or effort.” The group meets once or twice a week (usually over the weekend or during a weekday evening) March through November, with the bulk of the walks taking place on the west end of Allentown and a handful in Bethlehem and Easton. Welcoming to all women, there are no sign-ups required and being a member is free. Follow along on social to stay up to date with walk schedules and events!
