FROM THE PUBLISHER

CEO & PUBLISHER Wayne Dollard
EDITORIAL DIRECTOR Julie Talerico / j . talerico @ icmags . com
Welcome to the spring issue of IN Bethel Park magazine .
As the ground begins to thaw and trees start to bud , I ’ m looking forward to the warmer weather to be outdoors . One of the great things about our region is its many parks . Our communities are rich with green spaces for recreation for the entire family .
Not only does nature provide space for physical activities , but being outdoors is also good for your mental health , reducing stress and increasing happiness . Studies show that even 10 minutes in a park or urban woodland significantly reduces stress .
Our parks also promote a better sense of community . It ’ s a place for families to picnic , fly kites , play tennis , fish , kayak and gather for concerts .
In this issue , be sure to check out our spring events listing . From flower shows and food festivals to craft fairs and plant sales , there ’ s something for everyone !
Happy spring !
