Such a cute brood awakening installation. The center has restrooms. Lots of trails so you can spend as long as you'd like. Quiet and peaceful

What a great place! It's truly a gem. My son and I walked the Walnut Creek trail while my vehicle charged. On the trail we found tons of wildlife including a water snake, box turtle, squirrels, rabbits, and our first verified sighting of a male scarlet tanager. After he flew off we ate some blackberries straight off the cane. We sat on rocks and practiced our bobwhite whistles.

It's such a wonderful place to enjoy some nature and unwind.

An awesome tiny little corner in urban downtown... Escape for an hour at lunch, charge your EV at the free pair of chargers, go for a little walk around their nature trails or a longer extended one on the attached greenway system.
