SUMMER WEDNESDAYS: Pupchella! Pup Playdate in the Park

Live music by Maxwell Stern | Pets are invited to explore our trails this special pet-friendly evening featuring pup-cup treats!

Pupchella at the Nature Center 

Woof! Woof! Bark! Bark! Translation: Normally pets are not permitted on our trails but we invite you to bring your favorite furry companion to the Nature Center for this special dog-friendly (and people-friendly!) event. Stick around for local singer-songwriter Maxwell Stern’s pre-release show for his upcoming new album “In The Good Light”. Show begins at 6pm. (Sets: 6pm-6:45pm, 7pm-7:45pm) Please bring your lawn chairs and blankets! 

Activities include: 

Local singer-songwriter Maxwell Stern: Hailing from the post-industrial shores of Cleveland, OH and now located in Philadelphia, PA, Maxwell Stern has been crafting his own version of reflective, punk-tinged pop-folk since the early 2000s. He has released a slew of LPs and 7″s with various bands (Signals Midwest, Meridian, Timeshares, Orbits), and has played shows pretty much everywhere including an abandoned restaurant in Wyoming, a mall in China, several squats in Germany and a pretty nice bookstore in Australia.  

• Walk your dog along the Nature Center trails (which is usually not allowed to help us preserve the natural habitat of the animals and plants on our property!)
• Pet freebies, courtesy of the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District. 
• Enjoy a treat for yourself and your furry friend! Ice cream from the Duck Pond Gift Shop is 25% off and grab a $1 pup cup for your dog. * 
• Enjoy delicious food from the The Urban Wrap Co. Food Truck!
