These parks are gaining popularity in Europe and already exist in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Europeans value the outdoors just like we do here in Seattle area and I thought it would be a great addition to our parks experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0fe9b80612347a7d31d402/1586289911307-6AGFVWG1SGRPWB3SEZH3/IMG_3909.jpg Opinions - Barefoot Parks Experts and Cofounders also sharing their wisdom. Charlie: “ Barefoot Parks are the perfect adventure for a Nature Lover such as me. And I know that by walking barefoot my feet and body will get stronger as I grow.” Marta: “I like walking barefoot, it just feels good. I really enjoy being able to touch and feel all the natures textures and learn about it the same time. I like being surrounded by nature, I like laying in it, touching it and see how different it is and notice little things about it.“ Ella: “It is soooo much fun!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0fe9b80612347a7d31d402/1586290305899-XM26ETFHWHZNIG4IPYES/IMG_1401.jpeg Opinions - Baiba “The urge to be in nature and to be close to nature continues to grow as older I get. Back in a day my mom told me, every person has its tree, when you find it you always come back to it. It gives you strength, silence and understanding that you might not get anywhere else. Feeling the nature in your hands or underneath your feet energizes your soul and recharges your body. Walking barefoot on the trail and feeling every crumb, smooth sharpness or mud connects you to the nature. The connections are so deep that it relaxes you and makes you forget of the daily stress. Enjoy the feeling that barefoot trail gives you and share it with others. We all need a little more nature in our lives to heal us and lift us.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0fe9b80612347a7d31d402/1586290782221-SUHQ7FR8LZWF6IY9NTKW/Linda.jpg Opinions - Linda “When I was little girl I spent my summers (and winters) by the beach, but to get to beach I had to take a mile long forest path. I didn’t wear my shoes more than a handful of times in the hundreds of times I took that walk. The path was full of pine cones, pine needles, rocks and other natural materials. It was definitely a challenge. But my Grandma always told me that if I were to wear shoes, I would get sick in winter months and my immune system wouldn’t be strong. So I never even though any different. I remember my biggest reward was the beach. The second I stepped foot in the soft sand, the walk through nature was worth every step. Pure happiness! It’s a common knowledge that the foot hosts some of the most essential sensory points in the human body. So when the elderly were talking about the importance of barefoot walking, they knew what they were talking about. In this technology filled era, connecting with the nature is more important than ever. Barefoot trail is a wonderful way to do it! Mother Nature will continue to thrive long after human are gone, but humans can’t survive without nature!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0fe9b80612347a7d31d402/1584898334291-0FVAUK15FFKUYHQMZM32/Zaiga+Alksne.jpg Opinions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0fe9b80612347a7d31d402/1584806887899-PVIR563W3XGK4S9YAAAI/Screen+Shot+2020-03-19+at+11.22.10+AM.png Opinions https://www.barefootparks.com/partners daily 0.75 2020-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390409437321-Q9EZYDA52XWMFWJIQRU6/logo-2.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390409437266-8DADKO4VSI8O9JEYQ58I/logo-4.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390409437284-U9500QOC95REDBT90G9L/logo-1.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390409437242-8SZY5F04GD012C425QZ6/logo-3.jpg Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390505394162-W51WFS0M8F9TXWY7LPDY/chambers-10.jpg Partners https://www.barefootparks.com/new-page daily 0.75 2022-04-27 https://www.barefootparks.com/orcas-barefoot-park daily 0.75 2022-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e0fe9b80612347a7d31d402/ff24b0a8-05ac-4ed4-9919-f422f6488bd3/42A07647-67EF-4143-B15D-5F13E18D3599.JPG Orcas Barefoot Park https://www.barefootparks.com/home-alt-bedford daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500612440-PGQSIY8KL9F7T5VIXQLO/chambers-2.jpg Home Alt A better world Starts with a choice Contact Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500503574-5BAPXZO9U06UV61P49UO/chambers1.jpg Home Alt Sustainability Starts with you Join Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390500933384-LII4SRIPHFYOUFX0UCXC/chambers-4.jpg Home Alt A better world Starts with a choice Join Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390504287124-HQ8GNX1JCE22V047MSQ9/chambers-8.jpg Home Alt Preserve Nature Join Us https://www.barefootparks.com/read-me-bedford daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390928870858-4D9B6T9WGP8017NSS9W3/topography.jpg Read Me
