Itinerary:

Come join me for a ghoulish night hike at Pernoshal & Brook Run Parks in Dunwoody. We will be hiking at a moderate 3.0 pace on a concrete trail.

Pernoshal Park opened 4/23/16. It is a 5-acre park that includes a pavilion, bathrooms, basketball courts, a pickle-ball court, a large open field area for play and a wooded connecter trail which crosses Nancy Creek to Brook Run Park.

Pickle-ball was invented in 1965 on Bainbridge Island, outside Seattle, WA. The goal of Pickle-ball then and now was to create a game that is fun for every member of the family. It is a fun sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. It is played both indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court with a slightly modified tennis net. It is played with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes and as doubles or singles.

Brook Run Park opened in approximately 2011. It is a 102-acre park and is the largest park in Dunwoody. The park features include a large children’s playground, 2-mile trail loop, skate park, dog park, community garden, and event facility.

PLEASE arrive by 7:45 pm for time to use restroom facilities, socializing & introductions.

We will be starting our hike PROMPTLY at 8:00 pm.

Pre-Hike Snack/Dinner at North Shallowford Plaza. Their are 3 restaurants to choose from (See Notes for details). Come join me to eat or socialize before the hike.
