This event is designed to raise awareness of our local parks and share what research tells us about the benefits of green and blue spaces. Time near trees, plants, and water has been linked to reduced stress and anxiety, improved mood, and enhanced mental wellbeing. Access to green and blue spaces can also encourage physical activity, which supports overall health and helps reduce the risk of chronic disease.
Come enjoy the fall colors, stretch your legs, and connect with your community along the Mystic River!
This event is being developed in collaboration with the Mystic River Watershed Association and the Coalition for a Resilient and Inclusive Waterfront.
