Option to walk the 1.5-mile trail. The trail is uncovered, fully paved, 8 feet wide, and a very comfortable experience for walking mamas and napping (or snacking) littles.

FIRST TIME MOMS - CLAYTON, WENDELL, KNIGHTDALE
I was hesitant to go to a “mom meetup” because of the stigma of a moms group. But I’m glad my husband pushed me to meet new people. The group has been filled with cool, real, fun moms. Everyone brings something unique to the group and I look forward to our meetups!
— Kristen
I'm so glad I decided to check out thrive motherhood 's mom's night out. It's hard for me to make time for myself but whenever I go to the events/meetups/playdates, I leave feeling happy and lighter and I make wonderful connections with other cool moms. I also laugh a ton and have shared with other moms who ended up losing it as well!
— Janet
I genuinely look forward to the 3rd Thursday of the month because I know it’s mom’s meet up day. The moms are fun and come from all walks of life. It’s my time to take time for myself. I love that we switch it up and go places where we can get fancy or keep it chill.
