Walk Day Details
Walk Route: The walk will be double looping around the lower level paved area of Chambers Bay park near the water (orange line on map)- not the full loop with the hill. It is about 1 mile but you do not have to do both laps around if you prefer. The area is paved and ADA accessible and walks right by our activities area & food trucks!
Parking Availability: There is ample parking at the Central Meadow lot next to our event & it is always nice to carpool if you are able.
