HOW DOES THE CHALLENGE WORK?

It is really easy. Visit the PARK HOPPER CHALLENGE WEBSITE and sign up (it's free!).

Go to the "Parks to Explore" tab at the top of the page, find a park, and go explore! 

All you do is head out and explore the parks listed on the website or go explore other parks throughout Westmoreland County. Do it when and where you want at your own pace.   Just go and have fun! 

After your walk, run, hike, bike ride or whatever you decide to do, come back to the website and record what you did. List what park your visited in the comments...try to visit them all!

You can enter all or some the following data: DISTANCE, TIME, VERTICAL GAIN. As you keep coming back, the website will track your progress and you will be able to see where others are going, too!

If you did something spectacular, share it.  If you found a cool stream, share it.  Let everyone know about all of the awesome parks and places we have in our neighborhoods!
