The 5 Mile Hike at Phil Hardberger Park is a guided outdoor walking event that takes participants along approximately five miles of scenic perimeter trails within the park. During the hike, participants cross notable landmarks such as the Skywalk and the Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge while passing natural areas and attractions like the Savanna Restoration area, Wetland corner, and the Native Plant Wildscape Demonstration Garden. The route includes a mix of paved and natural trails and typically takes up to two hours to complete. The event is designed for adults and teens comfortable with moderate walking and encourages participants to wear comfortable shoes and bring water for the journey.
