Age 50+ Walk and Learn: Schenley Park with Ranger Nikki
August 15 @ 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm
FreeOur August Walk & Learn hike will feature beautiful Schenley Park, which is undergoing an incredible transition. As the ecosystem is changing, Ranger Nikki will direct our eyes toward flowers, trees, mushrooms and the history of the park (including the gorgeous stone bridges and city steps!). This hike is designed for new or returning hikers and will be gently paced, with rests blended in as needed. We will meet at Anderson playground and hike upper panther hollow to lower panther hollow then hike to the lake then up the stairs back to the playground. Please plan accordingly.
Ranger Nikki has been a Pittsburgh Park Ranger for just about 5 years. She relishes being outside and the element of constantly learning something new. Even in her down time, Nikki loves to lead her friends and families on hikes and celebrate the beautiful outdoor spaces interwoven into our city.
