Connect Outdoors: Kenilworth Park/Anacostia River Trail HikeJoin Blue Star Volunteer Danielle Roessle for a hike at Kenilworth Park/Anacostia River Hike We will walk around Kenilworth Park and part of the Anacostia River Trail. We will plan on walking for about an hour and fifteen minutes. The walk is rated easy, although there are a few hills. Due to the moderate pace of this walk, please ensure that your guests can keep up with the pace or please bring strollers for your children. Dogs are permitted on leashes, so feel free to bring your furry friend if they are friendly. What to Prepare: Please wear sturdy footwear, bring water, and wear weather appropriate clothing. Parking Situation: There is a large parking lot when you arrive. You'll see me carrying a sign that says "Blue Star Families". Please register today so we know how many to expect. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any place where multiple people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19. We at Blue Star Families strive to empower military families to thrive by connecting them with their civilian neighbors — both people and organizations — to create strong communities of support. As part of our core mission, Blue Star Families seeks to ensure military families experience a sense of belonging and welcome in the communities in which they live. As a result, we are once again beginning to host in-person events and want to do so in a safe way that gives our members, staff, consultants, and volunteers confidence. As a guest at any Blue Star Families event, I understand that I must wear appropriate PPE based on state and local requirements, as applicable for both indoor and outdoor events in my area. As guidance continues to evolve, Blue Star Families—with the support of health and government officials—will be making more gradual adjustments. details about the event here.
