Undisturbed woodland, quiet trails, splashing streams and a tranquil pond. These are reasons to visit Hidden Pond Nature Center, a neighborhood haven filled with natural wonders!
To prepare: Please wear comfortable walking shoes and weather appropriate clothing. Bringing a water bottle and snacks are always recommended.
Meet up: We will meet at the Visitor Center at 11AM 8511 Greeley Blvd. Springfield, Virginia If you are running late, please message the OSG Events WhatsApp group to determine where we currently are. We cannot wait for latecomers.
Weather Cancellation: In case of unsafe weather conditions, an announcement will be made on WhatsApp at least 2 hours prior to the start of the outdoor event.
Contact: We will communicate changes of plans and important updates via WhatsApp. If you are not yet in our OSG WhatsApp Events group, you can join via the link that will be sent to your email with your registration confirmation.
Accommodations: At OSG, our staff are not direct service providers, so we ask that each participant attending an event brings any personal support they may need for their well-being and engagement. This may include, but is not limited to, caregivers, communication partners, or mobility aids. That said, with prior notice, we can arrange group-wide accommodations during event planning. These might include ensuring wheelchair-accessible routes or selecting allergen-safe menus. Additional accommodations are available upon request, though they may not be listed here. To discuss your specific needs and help us make our events more inclusive, please contact us at [email protected] with the subject line “Accommodation Request.”
*Note: Sign-up is mandatory. Be sure to RSVP so we know to expect you.
