Parks and Wildlife Commission are running their “Walk in the Park” program again this year.
Ranger Clare Pearce said finding your feet out on a walking track for the very first time can be a bit daunting.
“Joining a Walk in the Park gives people all the support and encouragement they need to take that first big step,” Ranger Pearce said.
“Taking a Walk in the Park is also a great way to de-stress from the week before, get your weekly dose of nature and reset for the week ahead, all our walks this year take in amazing views which are great photo opportunities” Ms Pearce said.
The series kicks off in April and will continue until September with walks taking in a number of different Parks and Reserves in Katherine.
The free program suits first-time-hikes but also offers new insights for experienced walkers.
All participants will need to be able to walk at least three kilometres over an uneven track and carry their own water and snacks for the day.
Numbers are limited and bookings are essential.
Also on offer is the chance to discover amazing plants, spend time watching the birds, gaze at incredible views, all while making new friends along the way.
