Jackson County residents are invited to “park hop” from May 30 through July 31 by getting a passport to local parks.

The event is a partnership with Healthy Jackson County, the Seymour Parks and Recreation Department, Jackson County Public Library and its branches, Brownstown Public Library and Schneck Medical Center.

Participation in the program is free, and local residents can participate by picking up a passport from one of the local libraries in Seymour, Medora, Crothersville or Brownstown and then visit any or all of the parks listed.

There is no minimum requirement, and participants are encouraged to visit the different parks in Jackson County over the course of the summer.

Return the prize submission form by July 31 to any of the local libraries to have a chance to win prizes.

The Park Hop and summer learning program are separate activities, but when participants come to the library, they may sign up for both at the same time.
