Event Details:
Join us at Lake Crabtree County Park!
For this meetup we will begin with a short hike of the Beech nature trail (approximately 0.5mile loop, sandy/rooty terrain with several boardwalk sections and wooden bridges). Big kids can go fast (maybe two loops!) and littles can toddle along at their pace. After the hike, join us in the big field for some unstructured running, relaxing, picnicing, feather-finding, nature fun. If the field is closed due to wet conditions, we will walk or drive to the brown/green playground instead (and then likely playground hop to the blue one after too!).
These come-as-you-are Nature Meetups are designed to give kids and their adults minimally-structured time in nature to play, explore, and connect. Our objective is to support all families in expanding their child’s experiences in nature.
What to bring:
Change of clothes in case kids get dirty/wet
Adults may want to bring something to sit on (towel, picnic blanket, camp chair)
Snacks/lunch, water
No need to bring toys. We will find our fun in nature, which takes practice and time.
How to find us:
Enter the park and pass the entrance booth (there are no fees to enter). After you pass the entrance booth, turn right following signs for the Field. Park in the lot towards the right. At 10:00am you will find us at the trailhead for the Beech Nature Trail. After our hike you will find us either on the field or at the playground(s) between 10:30am-12:00pm.
