Look Up! 🌕

🌲 Happy National Public Lands Day! 🌲

Our parks are more than places to visit—they’re where memories are made. A morning hike, a day at the beach, a family picnic, spotting wildlife along the trail, or simply finding a quiet place to enjoy the outdoors.

Today, we celebrate the natural spaces that bring us together, inspire adventure, and connect us with the beauty of Kalamazoo.

A special thank you to the volunteers, nature lovers, and community members who help protect and preserve these public treasures.

☀️ Spending time outside? Don’t skip the sunscreen. Whether you're hiking at Markin Glen, relaxing by the lake at Prairie View, or enjoying a picnic at Cold Brook, UV rays can be strong—even on cloudy days. 🧴🏖

Apply SPF before heading out, and reapply every couple hours (or after swimming or sweating). Protecting your skin helps you enjoy the parks all summer long—safely.
