Wine tasting and winter hikes - Shoreline Recreation rolls out new program

Shoreline Parks and Recreation Department is now offering group day trips and hikes and would like to invite people to sign up and join in.

The new outdoor program is an effort to help adults of all ages (especially those ages 50+) stay active and socially connected with their friends and community.

The program is being rolled out with a few trips during the months of February and March. A wider range of day trips and hikes will be launched in the spring and summer exploring locations all across Puget Sound. Each trip and hike is affordably priced and includes transportation and an experienced guide. For more information visit the website or call the Spartan Recreation Center at 206-801-2600.
