Come explore Clifton Park’s Open Spaces!
A nice morning out for young children and parents/ caregivers who are looking to get outdoors this fall and winter. Each hike will last approximately one hour. Some of the walks will be “jogging-stroller friendly” but a child backpack or front carrier is recommended, dependent upon the age of the child participants. Please dress appropriately for trail conditions. Hike may be cancelled in poor weather conditions.
Parent/adult participation required.
Free, but advance registration required. 
Register once, come to as many as you'd like!
