🫣 I’ve done it again…

Give me two days in Winnipeg and I will go on two fantastic fall runs in Winnipeg Parks!

🏃‍♀️One of my runs was in Bois-des-Esprits, and we already have a Scavenger hunt for that, but my other run… that’s for you to guess!

🌱This park takes you near the Red River, has many forested trails as well as a gravel path, and is close by to one of our most iconic ice cream shop!

👇Drop your guess in the comments and I will tell you the answer tomorrow here and in our stories. Want the answer sooner? Make sure you’re following me and take a guess and I will message you to tell you if you’re correct. Once you know the answer, consider this your weekend park recommendation (I suggest a park(s) every Friday!)

❓Want the answer RIGHT AWAY? The hunt is already available for purchase, so go check it out in our shop (link in bio!)

🔍Happy Park Hunting!

🌿 I’m an outdoorsy girl, but…

I love hiking, camping, and exploring the beauty of nature—but let’s be honest, you don’t have to love every little thing about the outdoors to love adventuring.

🦟 Bugs? Nope. Sleeping on the hard ground? Not my fave. Freezing cold mornings? I’d rather stay in my sleeping bag or get up super early to beat the heat (I am a sweat machine on the trail!) Sand EVERYWHERE is my sensory nightmare.

🥾 But here’s the thing, being “outdoorsy” doesn’t mean you have to love every part of the experience.

💚 It’s about appreciating nature, getting outside in a way that works for you, and making sure we leave it better than we found it. That’s why I always follow Leave No Trace principles, like packing out my trash, staying on trails, and respecting wildlife. 🦌

⛺️Whether you’re a hardcore backpacker or just love a good scenic stroll, being outdoorsy is about connection, not perfection. My goal here at ‘Peg City Parks is to help inspire you to get outside, and more specifically to explore all that our Winnipeg green spaces have to offer!

🌱Winnipeg! Have you been to The Leaf at Assiniboine Park?

✨Last summer, I I went with a friend for a free half hour sustainability tour to learn more about this Gold Level LEED certified building.

🌼 Our guide, Sandra, was friendly, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. Volunteers like her help everything run smoothly at Assiniboine Park and we appreciate them very much! 🙏

🌳 I found the tour very interesting and enjoyed the opportunity to see parts of the building that are otherwise not open to the public.

⚙️ We learned a lot about the building itself, its construction, the plants and gardens, and much more. The tour is totally free, but does not include admission to the biomes - although if you haven’t been I highly recommend it!

The next tours are in October 10, November 7, and December 5 at 1:00pm and are totally free.

🌱 I’m incredibly passionate about the environment, and when I heard this audio it just felt right.

For 14 years, I tried to inspire my students to care about our planet, and now with ‘Peg City Parks, my goal is to motivate my fellow Winnipeggers to get outside more often. Because when we spend time in nature, we appreciate nature. And we protect what we love and appreciate.

🍂Now go get outside! And if you have kids, take them with you!

5️⃣* Insanely Easy Ways to Incorporate More Winnipeg Parks into you Daily Life

🌳Rather than recommend specific parks for you to visit this weekend, allow me to give you some advice on how to make “park hunting” a part of your routine!

1 - Open Google Maps (or whatever map app you use) and search “Park” Visit the nearest ones. Do this from home, your mom’s house, work, etc, to cover a more vast area.

2 - Jump on your bike and take a ride. Let your senses guide you and stop at every park you see. Trust me there will be a lot.

3 - Check out the city’s interactive map where you can see every park and open space in Winnipeg (link in bio). Use it however you like to inspire you to visit more green spaces.

4 - Follow for suggestions, advice, park and trail info, and more!

5 - Go for ice cream or another treat bought from a locally-owned shop after each park adventure. This would incentivize anyone I reckon.

🌟*Bonus - Buy a copy of our ‘Peg City Parks book that has 10 fun scavenger hunts for different parks, trails, and areas of Winnipeg and use it to incorporate more outdoor time in your daily life. We also have 20 scavenger hunts you can purchase individually. You can purchase online (link in bio) or find the local retailers in our highlight.

Now get out there and Wander Winnipeg!

🔎 Happy Park Hunting

💡Things I wish I had known when I was thinking about visiting every single park and open space in Winnipeg on foot or bike…

😮 When I decided to embark on this endeavour, it wouldn’t have mattered how many there were, but boy was I surprised to learn that there were so many! I was actually kind of glad that I had a project that would take me a while to complete while getting me outside and active.

I was also surprised when I found out that quite a few of these”open spaces” were just buffers, boulevards, or sections of dirty riverbank. I have yet to know, more than 8 years later, what qualifies an area as an “open space” of the city of Winnipeg!

I WASN’T too surprised to learn that no one had done this before, to anyone’s knowledge. I mean, it was kind of weird. And weird, random, fun, and the first to do something are my middles names.

I really wasn’t sure how long this would take me, but when I completed in just under a year (with a month-long hiatus for a road trip to Alaska), I was pleased. This means I averaged about 4 parks a day.

As hoped I visited literally every nook and cranny of our city doing this, and it really was one of the best ways to be a tourist in my own hometown. I learned so much about Winnipeg in this process, and it led me to this little business of mine - ‘Peg City Parks!

🎯 My goal now is to inspire Winnipeggers to get outside and active while exploring our great city in a fun and engaging way. If you ever have any questions about the ‘Peg City Book or scavenger hunts, please feel free to message me or contact me by email at [email protected]

🏹 Happy park hunting!
