POSTPONED

In response to the COVID-19 situation, 2020 Parksfest has been postponed to a later date (to be determined).

Regional parks and greenways remain open. During times like these, it’s important to remember to take care of your mental health as well as your physical health. Spending time in nature is a great way to do that.


 

Protecting natural areas.
Connecting people to nature.
We can’t do it alone.
