Master Gardener Walk & Talk

I Have a Dream Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Walk

Capital Area Greenbelt           FREE

Join Penn State Master Gardeners for a leisurely one-hour stroll to learn about one of Harrisburg’s Best-Kept Secrets - The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. This walk is happening on the Anniversary of King's "I Have a Dream" speech, the perfect time to visit. It is only reachable by the Greenbelt, which creates a peaceful setting, perfect for quiet reflection. Pre-Registration is required. 

A Park Rx program sponsored by Highmark Blue Shield.

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial is located on the Cameron Parkway East section of the Capital Area Greenbelt between 19th and 28th streets. Parking for the garden is at the 19th Street parking lot of the Greenbelt. You can use the address of 1346 S. 19th Street | Harrisburg, PA 17104 in your GPS - this is a private residence; however, the parking lot is just beside the residence. Once parked, you'll proceed to walk under the 19th Street underpass for approximately 200 yards to reach the meet-up location.
