Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Let's go explore Piedmont Park. Possible areas to explore: the Meadow, Lake Clara Meer, Oak Hill, the Active Oval, the Mayor's Grove, Six Springs Wetlands, the Promenade, and more. I didn't even know the names of most of these areas of the park until I looked at the website. https://piedmontpark.org/

We will have a mix of sun and shade, so I would recommend wearing sunscreen and bringing a hat.

This is an exploratory hike because the route will be made up as we go along. The time and distance are an estimate. The pace will be moderate.

Please arrive at least 10 minutes early for socializing and introductions because we will be starting on time.

There are no bathrooms where we are parking, but there are some in the park.

We will meet on Virginia Avenue near the SE corner of the park. We will all be able to find free street parking there on a weekday morning. Park on the curb in front of the Virginia Highlands Apartment Homes at 609 Virginia Avenue. We will meet there and walk to the park together.
