Relax
Become quiet and centered, and walk at whatever pace is comfortable. Pass or be passed by others walking by briefly stepping off then returning to your chosen path. Enjoy the peace and reflection within.

Walk
For more than 20 years, LEAF has worked to transform Frontier park to be the viable, sustainable, green space that it is today. Our goal is to work outward into our community and use our skills to beautify other local areas.
