Holiday Tree Trail and Rock-n-Stroll events running through December
You can see the Holiday Treat Trail between the hours of 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The Joplin Parks and Recreation Department and Mercy Hospital in Joplin are partnering to bring the seasonal holiday event Rock-n-Stroll challenge this year.
This event is already in effect and will last through December 31.
Happening at the same time is the Holiday Tree Trail, a series of dedicated trees from area businesses and organizations that are placed along a portion of the trail at Mercy Park and lit throughout December that are accessible between the hours of 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The Roll-n-Stroll event is available to everyone.
A news release from the City of Joplin regarding the Rock-n-Stroll activity says, “Those interested in participating must register with Joplin Parks and Recreation and track at least five activities during the challenge period on a tracking sheet. The first 200 participants who track five or more activities by December 31 and return their trackers to the Parks and Recreation Department will receive a plush knit beanie courtesy of Mercy. To register and receive your tracking sheet, call Joplin Parks and Recreation at 417-625-4750.”
