This group enjoys keeping fit while having fun walking and hiking in the great outdoors. We explore trails, parks, and beaches on weekends throughout the year. All events are intended to be easy to moderate in difficulty so that even those who are new to hiking can feel happy participating.

We don't go at a fast pace but also …

I decided to start this group for people who like to be active in a variety of pursuits, but either not in shape to do strenuous activities or prefer to do things at a leisurely pace. There are many wonderful meetup groups on Long Island (some of which I belong to) and geared to a quicker pace or lengthy distance or a single activity. This group might also serve as a quasi "training grounds" for people who would like to participate in one of these other meetup groups. Personally, I have had some …

Welcome to the Suffolk County Adult Co-ed Pick-Up Soccer Group! This group is for Suffolk County adults who love to play soccer but who cannot make a committment to play on a league team. The goal is more to bring like-minded, futbol-loving individuals together rather than ultra-competitive play. Having fun and exercising while playing the "beautiful game" is far more important than the score. With this in mind, the group is open to any adult: male or female, 20 years and older, experienced or n …
