So, come out for a 1 hour educational session at the Nature Center. Topics will include: Water, Soil, and Recycling. This Saturday’s topic will be Recycling. Children will be recognized for completing the learning topics. Participants will get to enjoy the New Splash Pad along with the activity with the park’s staff who have been trained and specialize in teaching children about playing safely in nature.
