If walking is part of your regular exercise routine, there is no need to
abandon it during the hot months. The Community Room at the Rancho
Mirage Public Library is open with a walking track, 9 AM – 2 PM through
October. The Community Room is air-conditioned and carpeted for a “soft”
track at 71-100 Hwy 111, Rancho Mirage. Feet and joints will appreciate a
carpeted floor that is much softer than pavement or concrete.
The Library’s Community Room has ample open
space for walking tracks plus a great sound system.
The Library offers varying musical selections while walkers make laps.
Any pace works in the Community Room — brisk to leisurely — with each
lap 1/25th of a mile. “For those who count, a very average pace of 3 miles
per hour will yield a mile on carpet in just 20 minutes,” says David Bryant,
Library Director. It is possible to encounter a local celebrity or cross paths
with an elected official along the way. Strike up a conversation, make new
friends and get some exercise, all without breaking a sweat!
Walking with the Stars
The Library welcomes people with mobility issues, using canes,
walkers, wheelchairs or receiving a helping hand from their
caregivers and service dogs. This program is for everyone and
comfortable shoes/sneakers are the only equipment needed.
