The soundwalk stretches about 3 miles and plays through an app on your device, guided by your GPS location. It's available for free anytime you choose. You can go with friends or alone, listen on headphones or a portable speaker (respectful of other park users), and take as long as you want to explore the stories and sounds that comprise the experience.

Wonder looks good on you
Culture creates vibrancy for us individually and collectively. It gives our kids a unique perspective and understanding of the world. It inspires all of us to get off the couch, discover the radical and the beautiful, and stretches our capacity to be transformed. Through our diverse, local culture, we come together, we come to new ideas, we come to our senses.
