Summer is here, and Portland Parks & Recreation invites you to join one of our Ladybug Nature Walks for preschoolers!  

This Friday, join us at Powell Butte Nature Park, at the Ellis Street entrance at 10 am.

Trained Parks naturalists will walk you and your kids through the park's gardens and natural areas. Touch slimy slugs, smell tree bark, feel crinkly and soft leaves, hear musical bird songs, and experience the many changes of spring and summer!

The Walks are just $3 per preschooler (no charge for accompanying adults), and begin at 10 am, rain or shine.  No advanced registration is necessary. 

Can't make it this Friday?  There will be plenty more opportunities all summer long.  Click here for a complete schedule.
