Please leave your four-legged friends at home at this time.

**A note about online registration**
Recreation and Parks has transitioned to a new cloud-based registration program, CivicRec. When you click the link to register, you will be taken to this new platform. As a new user, you will need to create an account – this should be a pretty quick and painless – and you will only have to do it once. Under your account you will be able to add members of your family for quick and easy registration for hiking programs and any other program offered through Burlington Recreation & Parks. 

COVID Protocols for Group Hikes:

  • Pre-registration required. No walk-ups allowed.
  • Do NOT attend if you are sick or have been around someone who is. If you have underlying medical conditions or high-risk for COVID, we encourage you to not attend.
  • Group size is limited in accordance with mass gathering limits/executive orders.
  • Participants and staff are required to wear masks when not actively hiking.
  • During the hike, participants and staff will keep social distance unless they are from the same household.
  • Participants and staff are encouraged to wash or sanitize hands before and after hiking (please be prepared with your own hand sanitizer).
