CANCELED: Semi-Shaded Hike to Sprayground Site
August 4 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Free
Due to the weather, we have canceled this event.
Join us for an easy/moderate semi-shaded hike along the Houston Meadow Trail ending at Houston Recreation Center’s awesome sprayground, where kids (and adults) can cool down via the sprinklers (after the hike)!
The hike start is NOT where the hike ends, though we will only be about a 10-minute sidewalk/paved walk from where the hike ends. Parents/Caregivers are also able to finish the hike, then drive to where the playground is located.
TRAIL/HIKE DETAILS
This is an easy/slightly moderate hike along varied dirt, rock, grassy, gravel terrain. There are some slopes and inclines. It is NOT stroller friendly and takes at least 30-50 minutes to complete. There are NO bathroom facilities, so plan accordingly. This is NOT a stroller accessible trail and does involve walking up/down hills and traveling on varied terrain – soil, mulch, grass, pavement, etc.
START TIME: The hike will start promptly at the following times: 11 am (We will NOT wait for late-comers. If you arrive on-time and don’t see our educator(s), please wait a bit and/or contact us.)
MEETING LOCATION: Trail head start: 991 East Cathedral Rd., Philadelphia, PA 19128 (This is NOT a building, but rather a tree-lined area along a street. You should see a Let’s Go Outdoors Educator and/or small yard signs that say “Prescribe Outside” and/or “Let’s Go Outdoors.”)

Closed toed shoes that can get dirty, as trail may be muddy and/or shoes may get soiled.
Appropriate attire for the weather – layers are strongly recommended in cooler seasons.
An adult, aged 18 years or older, MUST remain and participate in the program with their child(ren). Those under 18 cannot be dropped off.
