Sole Mates' Community Walk

August Trail: Mingus Park

Meet the Sole Mates!

In May of 2023, Coos Bay Public Library, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), and twenty members of the Coos Bay community formed the Sole Mates. This partnership began a two-year research study to learn the effects of walking as a group and engaging civically to improve public health and walkability in our community. The Sole Mates decided to use funds awarded by OHSU to create a free walking guide to inspire other community members to get outside, walk, and improve their health.

Coos Bay Public Library and the Sole Mates, will co-host Sole Mates’ Community Walk on every fourth Saturday. The August walk will be held at Mingus Park (Meet & park by baseball field, 725 N 10th St) 

Every month, we will meet at the next trail in the Walking Guide. Walks are FREE to join and open to everyone! 

Let's walk!
