Due to heavy ice on our trails, our team has decided not to illuminate our trails this evening (12/19) in order to assure patron safety.

We will proceed with the 'Shop' part of Holiday Shop & Stroll! Please come to Forest Park between 6-8:30 pm to enjoy festive tunes and our Nature Art Show & Sale.
