February Bird Walk

Written By Virginia Rose
Join Virginia Rose for a bird walk tailor-made for folks with mobility challenges!
The walk will be on Sat., Feb. 16 at 8:00 at the Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park. Meet at the parking lot on Walnut Creek Park Road that is closest to Parmer Lane on the northwest side of town. See below for directions. Unfortunately, it is not on the Capital Metro route. Please be prompt.
Dress appropriately if it is cold!
Bring water, a hat, sunscreen, and insect repellent. Bring binoculars if you have them. I will bring extra binoculars for those of you who need them.

IF COMING NORTH ON MOPAC:
Take Mopac N to Parmer.
R on Parmer
Pass Metric and Scofield
R on Willow Wild Rd. which becomes Walnut Creek Park Road
Park in FIRST lot on the RIGHT.
You will see some green "begin bike trail" signs.
IF YOU ARE COMING NORTH ON LAMAR INSTEAD OF PARMER:
Pass Walnut Park Crossing on the right, and take L on Walnut Creek Park Road, 12138 N. Lamar. If you get to W. Yeager, you've gone too far.
Continue down Walnut Creek Park Road until you get to the last parking lot on the left. This parking lot will not have any playground equipment on it.
See you there! I am very excited you are coming. I know you will enjoy it. If you run into any problem, call or text me at: 512-461-6920.
