Nature Play Garden on the Regenstein Learning Campus

Bicyclists of all ages are invited to ride the full perimeter of the Garden this one day of the year. Participants in this free event will be able to ride on the East and West Roads, enabling access to areas that are usually off-limits to bicyclists. After the ride, come to the McDonald Woods pavilion to enjoy the festivities, check out the vendors, and learn at the information tables.
