Greetings!
Rain or Shine
If it is raining, I will be in the big conference room.
Dress appropriately for weather conditions.
If little to no rain, we can explore on a short walk with umbrellas 🌂 to the boardwalk.
Come, chat with me and meet members of the We Walk team, socialize with people from other parks/neighborhoods, enjoy the beautiful observation deck and water piers, bird and other wildlife, plants, trees, and other activities.
Tap into the beautiful Visitors Center and explore indoors!
