The Step into Spring walks offer a fun amble through the centre, combining the best of fitness and leisure in a safe, flat space perfect for all ages and abilities.

Organised as part of a wider Our Year initiative led by Wakefield Council and Castleford Heritage Trust, these community walks provide a great opportunity to socialise with fellow Castleford residents. What’s more, Junction 32’s walk is designed with inclusivity in mind, ensuring that everyone, regardless of mobility or accessibility issues, feels comfortable and welcome.
