Long Summer Family Fun Day

Break out of your family's weekday routine to savor a long summer afternoon filled with activities for you and your family! Arrive promptly at 4:30 PM at the Green Trail kiosk to participate in a guided walk and the Veterans Park bingo challenge (about 45 minutes). The Barrington Land Conservation Trust and the Bayside YMCA have worked in partnership with the Town of Barrington, the National Park Service's River and Trails Program and other local partners for a number of years to improve the trail system at Veterans Memorial Park. Explore this amazing woods, wetlands and pond in the heart of Barrington!

Between 5:30 and 6:30 enjoy a Bayside Y style cookout with hamburgers and hot dogs plus a drink and a 'side' ( just $2 if you're having a burger and $1 if you're having a hot dog). The Y will also offer a variety of fun family activities such as obstacles and challenges, but be sure to come prepared with your swimsuits, ready to cool off in the YMCA's large outdoor pool anytime between 4:30 pm and 7pm. 

This event is part of RI Land Trust Days. Go to www.LandTrustDays.org for details about these activities, a full  calendar of Land Trust Days activities and to learn about the 2013 Challenge
