Second Friday Walk in the Park
Raise your Park IQ with Park Pride!
Join us on Friday, August 9 at 9 a.m. for a one-hour walk at Lionel Hampton-Beecher Hills Nature Preserve! We’ll explore parts of this 100+ acre nature preserve, which is largely mature forest. There are three champion trees in the park (which is the largest known tree of a particular species), including a sugar maple, umbrella magnolia and tulip poplar. The Lionel Hampton Trail was also PATH’s first trail and now connects to the Southwest BeltLine Connector.
See you there! Bring your coffee and your walking shoes.
NOTE: We will meet at the trailhead nearest Beecher Hills Elementary School. Street parking is available. The walk will be about 1.5 miles long, with half on a paved trail with a slight incline and the other half (which completes the loop) on a natural trail. If you aren’t comfortable walking on the natural path, you are welcome to stay on the paved path and rejoin the group at the meeting location.
