Adventure awaits at Cardinal Run Park North, the city’s largest new regional park to open in over 25 years. After yesterday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony, the park is officially yours to explore.
Swing by the playground, let your pup roam the nine-acre dog park, hit the six pickleball courts or basketball court, enjoy a picnic under the shelters, or explore the one-mile paved trail and two miles of natural hiking trails.
Bonus: Mark your calendars for Friday, Oct. 17. A community celebration from 5 to 7 p.m. will feature food and drink trucks, live music, nature programming, and more family-friendly activities.
