Walden’s Puddle Playgroup and Cookout

This event was cancelled before due to uncontrollable circumstances, but we have it back on the schedule now.

We’re going to meet up at picnic shelter 4 at Edwin Warner Park for this. We’ll have some playtime from 10:30am till the Walden’s Puddle folks arrive at 11:15am. They will be doing a presentation about local wildlife and what they do at their rehabilitation facility. After that we’ll break out the portable grills and cook some hot dogs, and have lunch!

If you aren’t familiar with them, Walden’s Puddle is a wildlife rehabilitiation center. They care for only native animals, and provide educational sessions to private groups. For more information, check out their website at:

https://waldenspuddle.org/

They are completely non-profit, and they usually collect donations at these events to help them to keep doing what they do. We are hoping that anyone who comes can bring a little cash (or check out their site for wishlist items they need) to help them out and show our appreciation.

Looking forward to this, and again I am sorry for the re-schedule!!!

When – Wednesday July 11th at 10:30am

Where – Edwin Warner picnic pavilion 4. Off Vaughn Road.

Pinkerton Park – Playgroup

There is a chance of storms on Wednesday this week, so we’re going to go out to Pinkerton Park. It’s really close to a McDonald’s with a large Playplace, so if we get rained out we can retreat to there. If it isn’t raining it’ll be hot.

When – Wednesday, June 27th at 10:30am

Where – Pinkerton Park

Edmonson Pike Library Storytime – Playgroup

Looking at the weather forecast, we could see anything on Wednesday. As a result, we’re going to go and catch storytime at the Edmonson Pike Library. That library also has a playground right there on site too, for a little bit of playtime after the story…if the weather holds out. Storytime actually starts at 11am, but we’ll still meet at the usual 10:30am. It’s usually pretty easy to kill a half hour with the toys, computers, or picking out new books.

When – Wed. June 13th at 10:30am

Where – Edmonson Pike Branch Library

Crockett Park – Playgroup

Should be warm and clear on Wednesday this week. We’re going to Crockett Park for playgroup. It’s one of the best because it only has one entrance, and it’s got more shade than most other parks. 😊👍

So come out and join us at Crockett Park this week!

When – Wed June 6th at 10:30am

Where – Crockett Park
1500 Volunteer Pkwy, Brentwood, TN 37027

No playgroup this week. 😞

As you may have noticed, we were originally going to have our special event featuring wildlife education from Walden’s Puddle. That fell through due to unavoidable circumstances. Fear not though, it will be rescheduled soon! In the meantime, we had a hard time putting together an alternate plan for this week, especially with nasty weather heading this way. So we are taking this week off from officially meeting. Sorry for any confusion! Thanks for your understanding!

When – Tues. May 22nd at 11:30am

Where – Cheekwood Botanical Gardens and Museum

There is a cost to get in via a ticket or membership. For more information visit https://cheekwood.org/
