Join the Path Finder or Trail Master Challenge!

Join one (or both!) of these fitness challenges this year! Let’s explore the parks and stay active together!

Discover New Parks

While you are out hiking and exploring the various trails and paths in the challenge, discover parks that you have never visited! There may be multiple passwords at larger parks with many trails or paths (like Bill Yeck or Grant Parks), while other, smaller parks may just have one password.

Find New Paths

The Path Finder and Trail Master Challenges are designed to help you discover the wide range of hiking trails and walking paths within the Centerville-Washington Park District. Some passwords may be easy to spot, but we encourage you to walk the entire trail/path.

Stay Active!

The challenge is simple: walk all of the paved trail for the Path Finder Challenge or hike all of the hiking trails for the Trail Master Challenge. Record the password hidden on that trail. If you are feeling ambitious, go for both! You will be staying active while you find the passwords and reach the goal!
