Kenton County’s Department of Parks and Recreation will celebrate “Kids to Parks Day,” an annual celebration of the nation’s parks, at the New Kenton County Park in Independence on Saturday, May 18, from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
“Organized by National Park Trust, the mission of Kids to Parks Day is to foster future outdoor enthusiasts and help with developing the next generation of park stewards by engaging kids in memorable outdoor experiences,” said a county press release. “While discovering and exploring our parks, kids learn about park stewardship, outdoor recreation, STEM and the history of our country and its amazing national treasures–because kids need parks and parks need kids!”
Activities will include nature crafts, a scavenger hunt and hiking. Snacks will be provided, but attendees are advised to bring their own water bottles.
Attendees are asked to RSVP in advance at the county’s events page.
