Brooklyn Park is gearing up for a summer kickoff with its annual "Walk the Park" event at Trinity Gardens, inviting locals of all stripes - dogs, kids, and the neighbor you've only ever nodded to - to step outside and enjoy some neighborly camaraderie in the great outdoors. This year's stroll through the scenic walks of Trinity Gardens Park is slated for the morning of Saturday, June 8, and urges community members to get their daily steps in whilst indulging in a smorgasbord of al fresco activities.

According to Brooklyn Park's official website, the event boasts a laid-back, non-competitive vibe ideal for families which seems like a perfect opportunity to rub shoulders with city officials from the Fire and Police departments or to indulge in some wholesome outdoor games courtesy of 'Rec on the Go', and the afternoon promises to dish out more than just sunshine with a tempting prize drawing on the books.

The fun unwinds along the trail stretching from King's Crossing to Park Pavilion between 9 and 11 AM and for those habitual planners or the perennially curious, more details are a quick click away on the city's website or an email to the dedicated Walk the Park team.
