Norwalk Library, Health Dept. Invite Community to Pokemon GO Event at Veteran's Park

From Norwalk Health Department:

The Norwalk Health Department and the Norwalk Public Library invite the community to play Pokémon GO at Veteran’s Park on Friday, Oct. 28 from 4-6 p.m.

Playing Pokémon GO is a great way for the whole family to stay physically active. Children are recommended to participate in at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day, while adults should be physically active for at least 150 minutes per week. Searching for Pokémon around town or walking to hatch your eggs contributes to your daily physical activity, and can improve blood flow, strengthen muscles, and help you maintain a healthy weight.

The Health Department will release two special edition Pokémon NorWALKer Route maps at Friday’s event. Grab your phone or tablet, stop by Veteran’s park to pick up your map and other fun freebies, and you’ll be on your way to catching Pokémon throughout the South Norwalk and Downtown neighborhoods Pokémon “lures” will be set up in Veteran’s Park, so don’t miss your chance to catch some new or rare Pokémon at the event! After you stop by the Park, make sure to visit the PokéStop at the Norwalk Public Library (featured on the Downtown Map) to stock up on PokéBalls and Revives, as well as a new stack of books to read!
