Birmingham Park Lights Up with First Night Hike and Campfire Event in Milton

About 150 local residents found a combination of education and delight under the stars at Birmingham Park last Friday. The event, Birmingham’s first Night Hike and Campfire, is part of an expanding suite of outdoor recreational activities offered by the City of Milton. The evening’s agenda included guided hikes along glowstick-lit trails, a campfire, and, naturally, the making and consuming of s’mores.

After the sunset, families, and friends started their adventure from the parking area to the Old Bullpen Road meadow led by trails shimmering with glowsticks. Once there, they were greeted with the essentials for s’mores: marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers ready to be roasted over the inviting campfire, as reported by

Milton’s local government website.

Outdoor Recreation Supervisor Jen Young, affectionately known as “Ranger Jen,” provided attendees with insights into the nocturnal wildlife. In a statement obtained by
