NatureZen Month

Connect to Nature and Each Other

Nature has the power to make us feel connected to something larger than ourselves. Each October, we take a month to celebrate how Overton Park, with its centuries-old forest and signature open green space, brings people closer to nature and to their neighbors. 

Join us for:

  • Guided nature walks
  • Artistic expression
  • Wellness activities

Check out the calendar of events below.
