Join the fun! A free Family Fun Bike Ride to Morrison Rockwood State Park will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 18, 2024. Registration will begin at 9:30 a.m. at St. Peter Lutheran Church parking lot, 601 N. Jackson Street, Morrison, IL, with the Ride commencing at 10:00 a.m.
“Kids and adults of all ages are welcome to participate in the Ride,” said Marc Adami, Friends of the Parks Board Member. “Through this event, we are hoping to encourage bike safety and get folks out to Rockwood Park. Riding a bike is great exercise and a healthy alternative to “screen time.” We want to help people do it safely, while enjoying the great outdoors.”
At Rockwood Park, hot dogs, drinks, and treats will be served, compliments of Friends of the Parks Foundation. The City of Morrison Department of Fun will be on hand, with lawn games and craft activities, assisted by Morrison Chamber of Commerce.
Two lucky youth riders will win new bikes, donated by Mead’s Bike Shop and Ben’s Bicycles.
Around noon, Friends of the Parks members will give away “Swag Bags” to the first 50 kids who ride back to St. Peter Lutheran Church. Morrison Chamber of Commerce will help.
*Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
*Children 17 and under must have a parent’s permission.
Participants are encouraged to bring their bike helmets. A limited number of youth helmets will be available at the Ride, courtesy of Morrison Rotary Club.
