Know Before You Go:

  • Please arrive a few minutes before 11am. We know that sometime late arrivals can't be helped, but arriving late can disrupt the attention of the group.
  • Wear closed-toe shoes and dress for the weather. Walking in grass and up and down hills will be necessary.
  • There are no bathrooms in the park and no drinkable water, so please plan to bring a water bottle and come prepared to only have portajohns available.
