About this hike: This Family Frolics Walk will happen in Kiwanis Park, The park's name reflects the contribution of the Kiwanis Club, a global service organization that helped develop the land into a community recreational hub during the mid-20th century. A major highlight of the walk is the stretch along the Grand River, a designated Canadian Heritage River. We might spot bald eagles and/ or blue herons.
