Winter Solstice Walk
All AGES Westwood Hills Nature Center, 8300 W. Franklin Ave. We will use this shortest day of the year to help us remember that many in our community aren’t able “to see the light” because of struggles with mental illness or difficult situations. We can help to be the light for those who need it, and guide them to take their first “steps” out of the darkness. Activities include a self-guided luminary trail and making your own luminary.

New Year's Gnome Search
ALL AGES Various parks Each week in January a different New Year's gnome will be placed in one of the city's parks. Once a gnome is placed in a park, it will remain there until the end of January. Clues will be given out each week on Tuesday morning on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (@stlouispark), as well as GovDelivery to help you locate the different gnomes. It is said that those who snap a photo with one of the New Year's gnomes will have some of its good luck transferred to them! Share your photos with us through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram by posting them in the comments section of our weekly clue posts.
