It was such a great value too, we rented the lodge and fire pit area for the entire day for less than $300 (not including the deposit which we got back after cleaning and turning in the keys.) The natural greenery made for such gorgeous outdoor photos and also reduced the need for extra outdoor decor aside from our arbor and chair sashes. Highly recommend for small events, it was a life and budget saver for us when our original venue booking fell through and I'm actually grateful that it worked out this way because the Nature Center hands down made our wedding unforgettable.

Highly manicured, mostly grassy fields with a nice little playground area for the children and a running track for those so inclined. They boast ample parking for the various sections of the park and I've never seen it very crowded. Overall, it's a decent park for the area, but my personal idea of a park is a lightly maintained, wild forest that is predominantly used for hiking up mountains and photographing wildlife.

I wonder why (in times of tight budget) cities don't solicit volunteers (scouts, civic groups) to do maintenance. The ponds need some work, there are fish but I haven't had any success in three separate trips now. It would be a nice place for a picnic and bird watching- not sure it will stay on my fishing rotation. There is a lovely plaza in honor of children taken too soon.
