Greynolds Park

When you get to the park, open your quest and we'll guide you through one step at a time. Do them in any order, across as many visits as you like — anything you tick is saved.

• Walking

  Walk the lake loop, then climb the coral rock mound to the tower.

  1.2 miles including the mound · about 45 min · Paved paths plus a stone stair climb. The loop alone is stroller friendly.

• Adventure

  Photograph a wading bird from the boardwalk without moving closer to it.

  0.3 mile to the boardwalk · about 15 min · Boardwalk over the lake edge, partly shaded.

• Live More

  Sit at the top of the mound and take five slow breaths looking out over the park.

  0.2 mile climb · about 10 min · Stone steps; skip the climb and use a lakeside bench if stairs are difficult.

• Movement

  Walk the lake loop twice at a pace that makes you breathe harder.

  1.6 miles · about 40 min · Flat paved loop, some open sun.

• Together

  Count wading birds together for two minutes and compare totals.

  At the boardwalk · about 10 min · Shaded and level.
