Activities at Hayden Park

Mountain biking is a fun activity and also provides bikers with a good endurance workout. After mountain biking, you and your friends could play a couple games of beach volleyball while the sun sets.

Enjoy the spring sunshine and America’s pastime with a Charger ball game. Julia Mullins | Collegian

Go to a Home Charger Softball or Baseball game.
