Hillsborough River State Park Walk

Hi all, looking forward to hosting our second event! We will be meeting at Hillsborough River State Park. We will meet up and chat from 9:30-9:45am and will complete the Baynard Trail (which includes the suspension bridge!) from 9:45-11am. The trail itself is 1.1 miles, and there is about another 0.5 miles of walking to/from the trail. We encourage everyone to go at their own pace and will not leave anyone behind. Slower walkers welcome. Leashed dogs are allowed in the park.

IMPORTANT NOTES: There is a $4 fee to enter the park. Park in Lot 3 and meet in front of Pavilion 9 (which is near the recreational hall). I will be waiting there with a small sign. Please message me here on Meetup if you are having a hard time finding the location on the day of the event.

Big Body Babes is a space for fat people to build community and have fun together. We embrace the word "fat" and reject the stigma surrounding it, but if you haven’t reclaimed “fat” just yet, that’s okay! Our community is designed for people to connect, build lasting friendships, and to have a safe space to adventure together - think eating out, going to the beach, plus-size clothing swaps, walking trails and more. This group will be free of diet talk, intentional weight loss talk, body shaming, ableism, and healthism, but FULL of fat acceptance, body liberation, fat friendships and fat joy. We welcome fat people of all identities and backgrounds and aim to make sure everyone feels comfortable, welcome and safe.

Please note: This group welcomes people who are fat/plus-size/in larger bodies. The purpose of this group is not for dating.
