I can see it's a place to be for hiking/trailing / biking/ exploring nature. I came here for tubing/sledding, a lot of snow/fresh snow. Not crowed , this place is a gem, hidden secretly. The fam had fun, good work out, alot of hills. Portable potty everything . A lot of history in this park.

We've attended a couple of their scheduled events. The beautiful, modern, minimalist auditorium incorporates the surrounding landscape seamlessly. Excellent acoustics and high-end electronic equipment help the speakers and performers give their best. A recent sold-out lecture by Dr. Robin Wall Kimmerer was inspiring, challenging and warmly entertaining. It was followed by a marvelous chamber music concert featuring a collection mostly contemporary works influenced by a connection with nature.

There is plenty to do there from an indoor basketball court to a complimentary tea tasting. There is also a library and plenty of common areas where people can read or get work done. Everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful. They have a lot of different free events, so would recommend checking their schedule online before going. It wasn't super busy when I went, but would suggest getting a free ticket online in advance just in case.

There's a lake for fishing and boating and canoeing here, and some nice hikes up to a ridge area. The main area for parking, with a somewhat muddy and rutted parking lot, is on Barlow Mountain Road, next to the lake. There's a small area for a boat ramp, and a few spots for parking. There are also a number of smaller areas to park on various side streets, to access various sections of the park. The trails are pretty well blazed, with maps mounted near the parking areas. The trails are really nice, with some sections being lower and easier, and a little bit of a challenge to get up to the ridge, where there's a nice overlook of the area. It's definitely a nice place to go for a hike!
