OLLI WALK
Wednesday MARCH 1, 2023.

CANCELED!

This was the first scheduled OLLI WALK of 2023. It will be reluctantly canceled  for snow and unsafe driving and walking conditions.  I will post on this website Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning if the walk is canceled. CHECK THIS WEBSITE!

Mira Loma Park is a 37.5-acre Reno park with playgrounds, a skate park, athletic fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, pathways, seasonal restrooms, and parking lots. The park includes the Mira Loma Urban Trail, a paved 1.2-mile loop around the park, and is adjacent to the out-and-back trail alongside Dry Creek (very wet) and the Boynton Slough.

Walk on wide, paved, flat paths at Mira Loma Park, and along Dry Creek and  Boynton Slough. Start at the north end of the park, south of the tennis courts. Walk the paved Urban Trail east 0.2 miles and cross the bridge to the Boynton Slough Trail. Take the Boynton Slough Trail east for 0.7 mile to a gate ending the trail. Water, usually with abundant waterfowl, will be on the left and houses on the right. Head back to the park on the trail. After crossing the bridge, go left on the Urban Trail. Walk the Urban Trail around the park, at forks stay left. Continue past the tennis courts RV track, skate park and parking lot. Continue back to the starting point. The hike will be about 2.7 miles.
