Park & Stride
What is Park & Stride?
Park and Stride (P&S) simply means driving part of the way to school, parking and walking the rest of the way.
A good solution for families who live far from the school and convenient public transport, P&S has many benefits:
-
Promotes physical activity
-
Children arrive at school more alert and ready to start the day
-
Helps reduce traffic congestion
-
Improves air quality around the school
-
Less stress for parents, who can park their car away from the traffic jams around the school.
