Spring Equinox in the Wissahickon with Melinda Spink and Melvin Chappell
Meeting at Houston Playground
Come celebrate the Spring Equinox in the Wissahickon!
Join us on Saturday, March 21 at 10:00 AM for a guided hike through Houston Meadow, as we welcome the turning of the seasons from winter to spring. The spring equinox officially arrives the day before our hike, so we will celebrate the first full day of spring.
We’ll walk the trails, taking in the first hints of spring—budding trees, birdsong, and the warm scent of change in the air. Along the way, we’ll share facts and lore about the equinox and its significance across cultures.
Distance: 2.5 miles
Difficulty Level: Moderate (some inclines and declines, uneven surfaces)
Audience: All Ages
Parking: There is plenty of free street parking along nearby neighborhood streets.
Restrooms: There will not be bathroom access during our hike.
