Parks Wellness Weekend: Family Fun Friday

This event is part of the Parks Wellness Weekend. The Parks Wellness Weekend offers free opportunities for residents of all ages and abilities to learn new and proven ways to improve their personal wellness through connecting with nature. The Parks Wellness Weekend is inspired by the work of PaRx in Canada and Ontario which provides tools to healthcare professionals to adopt the evidence-based trend of incorporating parks prescriptions as a powerful new tool into an individual’s overall healthcare plan.
