Nature Play Area
- Several nature play areas allow children and the young-at-heart to play in a natural setting. In these designated areas, you can build a fort, make a fairy house, hide in a native grass maze, dig for rocks in a sandpit, play in a teepee, and more.
- Fairy houses may currently be found in our forested nature play area. Fairies migrate seasonally and can be seen in other parts of the park.
- We also host several Nature Play Days each year when staff set up play stations with extra materials to enhance imagination.
Hiking and Wildlife Watching
- Three interpretive trails provide ample opportunities for nature study and wildlife watching.
- The preserve is connected to a large expanse of gamelands and parklands that form an impressive wildlife corridor around Falls Lake.
- The fields and meadows in the preserve provide habitat for grassland birds and mammals.
- A checklist of birds seen in the park is provided in the park office. The list is revised as we see more.
