Blue Heron Park
Kids Week: Kindness Rocks!!
Monday, February 16, 2026
11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
Even when school's out, our parks are still the city's natural classroom! Bring your kids to parks throughout the city for Kids Week during Mid-Winter recess. With programs led by our Urban Park Rangers, kids will get to experience nature in a hands-on and fun way. Join the Urban Park Rangers as we learn more about local geology while we participate in the Kindness Rocks Project. This is a project that occurs nationwide where people gather to paint rocks with kind messages that will be left in different spots in parks. When you encounter one of these rocks, you can snap a picture, share it with the Kindness Project, and move it to another location to spread kindness. Bring your own rock!
