During are walk we will be judging how walkable Prospect is. we will judge it on how well the footpaths are kept, if they are any shortcuts, how much nature there is and several more. for my specific group we will be thinking about how walkable it is for an eleven year old on a skateboard. A kid on skateboard need drink fountains, seats, stores meeting place to meet his other eleven year old friends and more. we will be visiting 5 specific sites in Prospect: St Helen's park, Prospect Oval, Rosary School, the local Coles and a BP service station. All will be eventually rated on how walkable they are. during the walk we will be required to take photos which will eventually be used in your presentation later on.
