You are invited to take to the streets to walk, bike, run, and play! Streets will be closed in a 0.9 mile long loop adjacent to Lang Royce Park.CLICK HERE FOR MAP The park will serve as the homebase for Sunday Parkways with information, cold drinks, and a variety of fun activities for all ages including:
