Explore the fun and charming Russ Garaman Park, with a creek and picnic area on the bike path.

Russ Garaman Park in Jackson is a cute, simple park, mostly fun when the weather is warmer and the river is low. Right along the bike path after you cross over scenic Flat Creek, you’ll come upon a small covered picnic area with a well-maintained restroom and a water fountain. Beside that is the most perfect climbing tree a child could ask for and a widened, shallow, slow-moving Flat Creek, where children like to explore and dip their toes in. We like to bring our toy fishing rods and see if we can spot any fish to say hello to!

Emily Coleman is a Jersey girl born and raised who caught the outdoor bug upon moving to Vermont to pursue a degree in Adventure Education and Environmental Studies from Green Mountain College. She spent most of her years before college deeply entrenched in the world of competitive cheerleading before discovering a passion for outdoor sports including mountain biking, white water kayaking, bikepacking, backpacking, slacklining, rock climbing, and skiing. Having been surrounded by children her entire life in her mother's daycare, she always had a strong affinity for kids. She moved to the mountains of Jackson Hole after graduating to coach for the local Kayak Club during the summers and nanny in the winters. Becoming a part of the Happy Active Family team felt like the perfect collision of her passion for building strong community bonds and encouraging an outdoor lifestyle.
