Walking at Oxford Recreation Complex (Hix Gym). The gym is open from 6:00 am to 1:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Walkers of any age may come inside to walk. This facility provides shelter from the elements and a safe environment. Cushioned flooring minimizes stress to hips, knees, and feet - that is commonly a problem linked with walking on hard surfaces such as asphalt and concrete. Challenge yourself and join the 500 Mile Club!
