'Senior Walk Wednesdays' at Rum Village Park

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- South Bend Venues Parks and Arts invites seniors, 55 and older, to Rum Village Park for "Senior Walk Wednesdays," a free program for seniors to enjoy nature and relax.

The specially designed hike will go through Rum Village Woods on Wednesday, July 3, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

During the nearly three miles of scenic, hilly trails within city limits, park officials say seniors will experience majestic old trees, beautiful wildflowers, fascinating birds and other wildlife, and a touch of local history

Organizers recommend wearing appropriate footwear, as trails can be muddy.

They add if it's too muddy, the hike will take place along the park road instead.

Attendees are encouraged to come early to explore the nature center exhibits and observe birds and small mammals in the auditorium.
