A nice, leisurely walk can be a calming and therapeutic way to relax, clear one’s mind from the stresses of the day, re-energize, and improve health, but
be sure to maintain a physical distance of at least six feet
!
Also for your protection, all playgrounds and restrooms are now closed, and all basketball, tennis, and volleyball courts, along with all playing fields, are available for individual or singles play only. Group games and activities, including doubles matches, are not allowed at this time.

It's time to take the kids outside for a
Color Scavenger Hunt
! Children will love trying to find things in nature to represent each color on their list, and it’s such a great way to explore the outdoors together. Use a white lunch bag and markers, use a piece of paper and crayons, use whatever you have on hand - just get out there and enjoy!

You can
keep your social distance
, but gain a connection with nature. You can have a great family adventure or flee family drama. You can wonder at the majesty of the natural world and be grateful that it is always there for us. Most of all, you can recognize that a time frame other than minute by minute exists and is available for you to enjoy at your leisure.
So get outside if you can. Take a walk or go on a bike ride with your family. Let nature work its wonders." - Executive Director, Bart Landess
