San Francisco's bustling city pace often leaves locals longing for a sliver of serenity, and what better way to find it than by joining a community outing amongst the greenery? The Westwood Hills Nature Center is offering that olive branch with its upcoming "Walk the Park" event. Slated for Saturday, June 8, from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m., nature enthusiasts can gather at the nature center's main entrance, 8300 W. Franklin Ave, as per St. Louis Park, MN. It's an opportunity to amble through the trails, breathe in some fresh air, and maybe make a few like-minded friends along the way.
This monthly rendezvous is more than just a walk in the park; it's a free community activity designed to engage locals with their surroundings, and, each other. According to St. Louis Park, MN, these walks will cover 1 – 2 miles of the city's scenic trails, on the second Saturday of every month. It's a standing invitation to step out of the concrete jungle and into the realm of rustling leaves and chirping birds – at least for an hour.
For those already marking their calendars, the forthcoming "Walk the Park" events are lined up as follows: rendezvous at Louisiana Oaks and Oak Hill parks on July 13, tread the Creekside Trail on August 10, and wander the Bass Lake Preserve/George Haun Trail come September 14.
