Welcome to the April/May issue of IN Peters Township
magazine.
As the ground begins to thaw and trees start to bud, I’m
looking forward to the warmer weather to be outdoors.
One of the great things about our region is its many parks.
Our communities are rich with green spaces for recreation
for the entire family.
Not only does nature provide space for physical
activities, but being outdoors is also good for your mental health, reducing stress and increasing
happiness. Studies show that even 10 minutes in a park or urban woodland significantly reduces
stress.
Our parks also promote a better sense of community. It’s a place for families to picnic, fly
kites, play tennis, fish, kayak and gather for concerts.
Be sure to read “Parks and Recreation” in this issue. There may be a few parks in your area
you’ve never visited. Also check out our spring events listing. From flower shows and food
festivals to craft fairs and plant sales, there’s something for everyone!
Happy spring!
