STATE PARKS PLAN OK KIDS DAYS,
FREE ENTRANCE IN MAY
Many parks combine OK Kids and
Free Park Entrance days first weekend in May
May 1, 2008 - April showers have brought
May flowers to Kansas state parks, and with flowers come warm
weather and more outdoor events. Many of the highlights of state
park events are OK Kids Days. This May, several state parks will
conduct events specifically for youth. These events provide opportunities
for kids across Kansas to experience various outdoor activities,
from birdwatching to fishing clinics. For many, this is an introduction
to the outdoors. For others, it is a rekindling of outdoor interests.
State parks planning combined OK Kids Days and
Free Park Entrance Days in May include Cheney, May 3-4; Eisenhower,
May 3; Meade, May 3-4; Prairie Dog, May 3; and Webster, May 3-4.
Hillsdale State Park will conduct a Free Park Entrance Day May
11.Other May events range from crappie tournaments to horse trail
rides to the Governor's Cup Walleye Fishing Tournament (at Glen
Elder State Park, May 4). Each park sets its own dates for these
events.
Many events are educational and all make visiting
Kansas state parks more fun. For more information on state park
events, phone individual parks or click the "Event Calendar"
on the "State Parks" page of the Kansas Department
of Wildlife and Parks website, www.kdwp.state.ks.us.
Park goers are urged to phone the park they intend
