Family Stroll

Start your kids out on the right foot enjoying the outdoors! Join dedicated volunteers on a FUN and easy family-friendly walk.

Participants will learn about nature, wildlife, native plants, and whatever else the kiddos find along the way!

Activity distance will be approximately 1.25 miles on a compacted crush granite surface. Strollers welcome!

All ages welcome; minors must be accompanied by their legal guardian. No pets please.

Though the hike is free, entrance fees to the Natural Area apply.
To save time at the Fee Booth and ensure entrance on crowded days, please pre-purchase and PRINT OUT a Day Pass.
