The Driving Park Walking Club was established by the residents of the near eastside during the Fall of 2004 to "create a healthy lifestyle through physical activity and nutrition".

It has been thoroughly documented that the most natural, easiest, safest and economical form of aerobic exercise is walking.

The Driving Park Walking Club has helped to change the attitudes and behaviors about wellness of the residents of the LACCD service area. People are engaging in more physical activity (walking) than in the past. Residents are more conscientious about their eating and nutrition habits. Members have documented weight loss, reduction in their Body Mass Index (BMI) and their Body Fat Percentage. They have documented increased distance and intensity in their walking.

Additionally, the club hosts a community garden, CPR training and an elementary school walking program.
