Berks County Parks & Recreation continue to present programs promoting nature and outdoor activity through the month of March 2023.
Winter Wellness Walk: Saturday, March 4 at 9 a.m. at Berks Leisure Area. Join Parks staff as we get out on the Union canal Trail to enjoy an hour-long brisk walk with likeminded friends.
