Celebrate Walktober with a FREE nature walk at Lone Elm Park!

We will meet at the Rendezvous Shelter and go on a guided walk through the park. Along the way, we will learn about the history of the site that served as a campground and rendezvous point for travelers along the SantaKC Fe, Oregon and California Trails.

Registration is not required. For more information, contact Zach Carnahan, zdcarnahan@olatheks.org.

Walk with us and share your perspective! Please meet at the Historic Northeast Lofts project (5401 Independence Avenue) at 5 p.m. 

There will be five routes to choose from. Each route is about 1.5 miles, or about 1 hour of walking and talking with stops to discuss observations. After the walk, the five groups will meet back at the starting point to discuss their observations before departing. The event will conclude by 7 p.m.

Leashed dogs are welcome to join the fun. The first 200 participants at each location will receive a commemorative Walktober button designed by artist Alex Hamil—collect all four by attending every event!

The Bi-State Sustainable Reinvestment Corridor project team is coming to a location near you and asking for your participation in a series of walking audits! 

Walking audits are great tools for experiencing and understanding together, in real time, how people move around the corridor today. Together, we will look at sidewalks, crossings, transit access, development, and public spaces to see what works well and what needs improvement.
