As part of Take a Child Outside Week, Urbana Park District is hosting free Playdates with Nature at Anita Purves Nature Center, outside at Friendship Grove Nature Playscape.

The playdates are from 4 – 6 p.m., on:

• September 20 – Mud kitchen
• September 22 – Art and Music
• September 24 – Scavenger hunt

All the events are free, but adults need to pre-register their kids, ages 6 and up, before the event.

A nature play facilitator will be present with extra supplies and other items for play.

It is a great chance for a child to explore nature outside.

David Subers, Environmental Public Program Coordinator, has more information in this video.

Call the nature center at (217) 384-4062 for more information and to register.
