Growing up on Chandler Pond, I have walked its circumference many times, but recently I wondered, how many steps does it take to get around the pond?
My mom and I decided to find out.
We chose a sunny but windy Sunday morning to begin our trek. The journey began at the bulletin board on Lake Shore Road. Our route took us down Lake Shore Road and along the black path that meanders through Gallagher Park. Next, we took a right on Kenrick Street, a right on Lake Street and then a right onto Lake Shore Road to return us to the bulletin board.. Due to social distancing, we were not always able to stay on the sidewalk or path, and we paused once or twice to say hello to some of the neighbors. According to our iPhone, the final count was 1,693 steps.
How many steps does it take you?
