Little Falls Community Services

Several Little Falls schools will be open for you to walk in during the fall and winter months. We encourage you to walk, using our school facilities to keep physically fit. All buildings are easily accessible and have level walking surfaces that are free of snow and ice! Schedules for hall walking are as follows: Lincoln Elementary 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM Little Falls Community Middle School 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM Dr. SG Knight (Randall) 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM Beginning October 16 all listed sites will be open Monday through Friday, except holidays. Other activities may be occurring in these buildings during walking hours. Access to area schools is as follows: Lincoln Elementary - Custodial Door #17 on the North side of the building Little Falls Middle School - Main Door #1 on the North side of the building Dr. SG Knight - Main Door #1 on the East side of the building Due to the high level of other activities that occur on a daily basis at Lindbergh Elementary and the High School, no walking access is allowed in those buildings. Because of security issues, it is required that you register with Little Falls Community Services before beginning your walking program. This also allows us to contact you in regards to any emergency closings, etc. Each participant IS REQUIRED to pick up their hard plastic hall walking pass from the Community Services office, located in Door #17 on the South side of the High School. You can also request to have your pass mailed to your address.
