Saturday, Sept. 7 is the launch of a new fundraiser event for the Riverside State Park Foundation called Game Day, with all proceeds going to Riverside State Park for park projects and enhancements. Since 2002, the Riverside State Park Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit, has raised over $400,000 to support the park.
Game Day will feature your choice of a 5-mile mountain bike loop that’s non-technical and mostly flat (suitable for children with biking experience) or a 3-mile run/hike loop. Each course features family-friendly games, including a bean bag poker toss, BINGO and Yahtzee at each of the five stations. Prizes for game winners and custom pint glasses will be handed out to all paying adult participants.
Choose your own rolling start time for the event between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. and then finish by 1 p.m. when stations and courses close. This event is not timed, just focused on enjoying the trails and giving back to a park that is such a treasure to the community. The cost to take part in this fun day out in Riverside State Park is $25 for adults and kids 17 and under are free.
This fundraising event starts and finishes at the 7-Mile Airstrip. This is a Free State Park Day, so no Discover Pass is required. Visit the Riverside State Park Foundation website at Riversidestateparkfoundation.org to learn more about the event and how to support the Foundation’s important work to help fund Riverside State Park projects.
