News and Events

Following our successful monthly events from November 2022 – May 2023, we will be continuing our “Sunday strolls” from June – November 2023. These events involve members of Elwood Community Choir as volunteer “stroll leaders” around sections of ESWT. Choir members get the singing going, and answer questions about ESWT.

All events will be weather-dependent, and will be cancelled in the case of bad weather. Participants will need to dress for the weather, and wear comfortable walking shoes.  

TOILETS: There are public toilets on the Song Site 6 – 8 (beach) section of ESWT. However, there are no public toilets along the other sections of ESWT. Please plan your stroll with this in mind.
