About this event?

Black Park is a great place to see dragonflies and our Rangers would love to share their knowledge with you. You don’t need any experience to join this family walk, just bring your enthusiasm and all of your dragonfly questions. For the welfare of the dragonflies, we will not be catching any insects on this walk but there may be a chance to see exuviae (or find out what one is!)

Please note: While Black Park is a suitable habitat for dragonflies, we cannot guarantee that you will see a dragonfly during the walk.

When is it?

The walk will run from 14.00-15.30hrs.

Meeting Point

You will be met by one of the Ranger Team at the picnic tables adjacent to the main pedestrian entrance to the park, by the Four Seasons café. For reference, please see the map below - the yellow star is where to meet. The walk will finish at the same location.
