Animal print painting at Heaton Park

Sprucing up the animal centre at Heaton Park

The Heaton Park volunteers and maintenance group, along with the staff at the animal centre, have asked for some GoodGym painting!

We'll be painting the pathway at the centre, likely with different coloured paw prints, to spruce up the area before the bank holiday weekend.

We'll meet at the Animal Centre inside Heaton Park (M25 2SW) What3words: ///orbit.hope.lush There are regular buses and Metrolinks going to the park from the city centre. For those who want a run, I'll be running from the city centre or we can arrange a jog around the park after the task.

Please wear clothes you don't mind getting a bit of paint on. Tools and equipment will be provided.

Walkable

You will be able to join a group walking to the task if you'd prefer not to run.

Options are available to run between 1km and 6km in total

Remember that we run/walk to and from the task, so you'll only be running/walking for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.

Ideal for beginners
