Little Explorers: Nature Walk at Slade Park

Your young nature enthusiast will love this free outdoor adventure with Elon Parks & Recreation. Children ages 2 and up will spend the morning exploring Lawrence Slade Park's natural spaces, discovering local plants, insects, animals, and wildlife that thrive in the area. The program is designed to spark curiosity through hands-on observation and age-appropriate activities that help kids develop a genuine appreciation for the outdoors. Every child must have an adult companion—whether that's a parent, grandparent, or caregiver—supervising throughout. Just dress everyone in comfortable clothing and walking shoes suitable for being outside, then arrive at the park at the scheduled start time. There's no registration or cost involved, making this a simple and budget-friendly way to get your family outside and learning together.
