Summer at Atlanta State Park

Summer is here and if you’re looking for something to keep the kids busy on Saturdays look no further than Atlanta State Park.

Throughout the month of June, Saturdays are jam packed with things to do at ASP.

On Saturday, June 14, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., ASP hosts “Art in the Park”. Bring your children to Knights Bluff and let their inner Bob Ross paint you a scene.

On Saturday, June 21, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., “Junior Rangers” gears up at Knights Bluff where the kids will learn about wildlife, safety, Leave No Trace, being water wise, nighttime creatures, benefits of being outdoors, discovering nature’s recyclers, learning about history and learning about park rangers.

On Saturday, June 28, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., the kids get to experience “Pond Dipping” at the boat ramp.

Pond dipping, the practice of observig and collecting pond creatures, can be a fun and educational activity. These parks host ranger-led programs include collecting, identifying, and learning about water quality indicators based on the found organisms. 

Keep an eye out for more things you can do at ASP and the surrounding area in the Journal-Sun this summer.
