April 23: Outdoor Fitness
There are so many ways to utilize Garey Park as part of your fitness routine! Whether you choose to get your steps in on our 7.5 miles of trails, run around with your pup in the Dog Ranch, or set up a mat in the meadow to get your yoga on, you can easily add some exercise into your park visit.
We hope to see you out at Garey Park participating in some outdoor fitness, however that looks for you!
Park Activities
Come out to Garey Park on Friday, April 23 to participate in these activities during park hours (8 a.m.-7:30 p.m.).
Craft Kit: Safari Hats (first come, first served)
Free for annual passholders or with the purchase of a Garey Park day pass
Stop by the gate house and pick up all of the supplies and instructions to make a kid-sized safari hat that will be perfect for your next outdoor adventure.
Family Trail Fitness Challenge
Come out Saturday-Sunday during park hours and challenge yourself with this family-friendly workout challenge on the Meadow Loop trail. *Due to inclement weather, the challenge is canceled on Friday.
Geocaching
We’ve got three new geocaches just for Family Nature Fest! Download the Geocaching app to get started today. You will need to create an account before you can log any geocaching finds.
Bioblitz
Help us chronicle plant, animal, and fungi species at the park! We have a huge variety of species on our 525-acres – help us document them all.
From experts to novices, all curious minds are welcome. With iNaturalist as a tool, anyone can be a naturalist! Participation is as easy as taking a photo and recording a date, time and location (your phone does this automatically via geotagging) and uploading to iNaturalist.org via the phone app or website. You can explore and make observations on your own time and pace, and as often as you’d like! Observations can be made with photos or sound recordings. Participate in our Family Nature Fest Bioblitz from April 22-25.
