Join us for a walk in the park!
From May – October, we will be visiting 6 different parks. Join us for at least 4, and earn a free admission ticket to the Mitchell Park Domes! If the weather is not cooperative – we will cancel this event in case of rain and see you next month.
Come hang out with old friends or make some new ones as you walk, bike, hit the playground, or just chill out on a bench and enjoy nature. Snacks and beverages will be provided. Leashed dogs are welcome, too.
All of the parks that we plan to visit have parking lots and bathrooms for your convenience. All ages are welcome! Invite your friends, family, and neighbors for some fun in the sun!
