Benches are scattered throughout the area, for rests and views. There is also a learning center and a shop featuring toys of wildlife, books, maps, posters and interesting trinkets that would make nice gifts."

Easy enough to bring the kiddos, but definitely interesting enough for adults! Beautiful land dotted with lovely art, right on the south edge of town, totally accessible by bicycle! I rode up from the Bosque multi use path on a whim last Saturday and just couldn't stop snapping pics! Do yourself a favor and stop by, you won't regret it! I'll be back and next time I'll bring a lock 😊"
