Remember back when we were kids, and we spent hours outside roaming the neighborhood, only to come home when it got dark? Those days of freedom outside can be harder to find, especially as the temperatures drop.
Take advantage of the mild, fall temps and hit the trails. Hiking in Indiana can be great in any weather, even rain. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful city with so much access to greenspace. From city parks like Eagle Creek Park, Holliday Park, and Garfield Park to one of the 24 Indiana State Parks, there are so many ways to get outside and enjoy nature.
So take some time this weekend to slow down a little bit, and smell the changing leaves. Reconnect with the outdoors and #PlayIndy.
