Urban Park Rangers: Kids and Families
Our Urban Park Rangers connect children with nature to encourage active exploration of the natural world. Children who spend time outdoors develop strong imaginations and learn to socialize better with others. Urban Park Rangers are role models who encourage children to let their imaginations run wild in a safe, supportive atmosphere.
Kids Week
Join our Urban Park Rangers during Midwinter Recess for jun kid-friendly nature programs, from birding and hiking adventures to survival skills and art workshops.
