Families are invited to Paynetown State Recreation Area on Saturday, June 9, for Monroe Lake’s third annual “Nature Play Day: Play Passport Challenge.”

Participants can begin anytime between 10 a .m. and 4 p.m. by checking in at the Paynetown Activity Center to pick up a play passport. Participants have until 5 p.m. to complete as many activities as possible before returning to the activity center.
