The hiking path is narrow.

The sensory garden in the front has a lot of cool flowers and signs to tell you about sensory things in the garden.

Not a lot of parking here, but it’s a short walk from the tennis courts on a sidewalk by the street.

The animals inside the Nature Center were neat, especially the turtle.

There is a seating area and space to play out the back door.

The front door is between 2 parking lots and near the sensory garden.
