The Metroparks is excited to announce the return of Senior Walks with Naturalist Breanna! (Catchy name to be determined). These will be on paved trails throughout the parks, each about a mile in length, with a focus on building community and taking it slow. All ages are welcome despite the name.

The first senior walk will be at the Harpersfield Covered Bridge Metropark on May 5th from 10am to 11am. We will meet in the southern parking lot and start walking the boardwalk trail.
