Itinerary:

Please join me for a 3.3-mile scenic hike around Chastain Park's (mostly) paved walking trail.

Chastain Park is known for its beautiful residential neighborhood and you'll get to see some gorgeous homes on this hike. We'll also get views of the park's beautifully landscaped areas (flowers are blooming right now) a golf course, a baseball field, tennis center and a pool.

Perhaps the most notable landmark we'll pass is the Chastain Horse Park. It's one of the last two remaining urban barns in the United States. It is also home to nationally recognized therapeutic programs.

Please note: Our hiking path is relatively flat in some places, but there is some elevation (approximately 320 feet in elevation).

Part two of event (optional): After our event, there is an option to visit THE CHASTAIN (an upscale restaurant near the park) for coffee!
