Be aware of your surroundings. That Eevee may look like it's on the trail, but distance and terrain can be deceiving. Make sure you're staying aware of what's around you, including other players. Move off trails to do your battle, and keep pathways, exits, and equipment clear. Look before you chase.

Respect private property. Parks are often neighbors to private homes and businesses. If you see a Snorlax dash into an adjacent yard, let it go! Besides, parks are great places for relaxation and reflection too. Pack a picnic, lay down a blanket, use an incense, and let the Jigglypuffs come to you.

Remember park rules. Like private property, stay out of  areas that are closed to the public. Many areas that are closed off in our parks are under repair or otherwise hazardous. Keep park operating hours in mind as you hunt your nocturnal ghost and fairy types.

Get out and visit nearby parks! Different kinds of Pokemon generate in different places. This is a great opportunity to visit parks that wouldn't normally be in your travels.

Just like me, I hope you've embraced the Pokemon movement! If nothing else, it is great to see people out and about moving, getting fresh air, learning about their community and parks.  It is a great opportunity for us to use this time to reach our visitors, so use your creativity and take advantage of the masses swarming our parks hunting the fierce, yet lovable Pokemon.
