If you have not already, please take 5-7 minutes to complete the Washington Park Aquatics Plan Survey. We are looking for community feedback to help guide the design of new water amenities at Washington Park. This is an opportunity to customize a new type of facility and your input will help the design team understand which features and experiences are most important to the community.

The survey closes on Monday, August 17th.

The walk begins at noon, but if you'd like more time in the great outdoors, bring a blanket or yoga mat at 11am for a soothing sound bath with Camille Mays.
