About this adventure
Independence Parks and Recreation holds its winter solstice hike at George Owens Nature Park on a Wednesday evening in early December. The walk runs 5:00 to 7:00 pm and is described as open to all ages. Along the paths families see sculptures, live birds of prey, bonfires, community displays, activities for children, and Christmas lights. Hot chocolate is complimentary. Paths are described as accessible. Sponsors named on the page are Comcast, McBee's Coffee and Carwash, and the Salvation Army. It is an outdoor night walk, so coats and closed shoes matter more than a ticket. The page does not print an admission price or a registration link.
