Eco Park is EcoFriendly

Just imagine a place where fun, nature, and kids are the focus! At the Eco Park we are working hard to create a place where kids can be kids, and the park will continue to evolve into an ecological wonder to behold. Here are just a few of the amazing kids activities available or on our wish list, that help make the Eco Park a special place.

Our walking and fitness trails wend their way through a wide variety of habitat types-forest, meadow, pond, wetland, thicket, stream and hillside.

Our vegetable gardens with organic foods managed by seniors who share their knowledge and expertise with young people
We are even working to create a natural amphitheatre for outdoor concerts and presentations.
