Get Kids Outdoors and Active at Greensboro Downtown Parks!
An essential part of our mission is to nurture a love of nature and healthy lifestyles in young people. That's why we partner with local youth-centered organizations to bring 60+ FREE Kids' Klub programs to the parks each year. These programs transform our parks into vibrant spaces for play, learning, and social growth for our city's youth. They run weekly throughout the parks' busy season: April- November. Make your next family outing an adventure!
