The Nature Playscape is a great place to take the kids for an afternoon of summertime fun. Our grandkids loved it. One thing that is seriously needed is new and better signage with directions to the Playscape. We encountered several lost families in the woods trying to find it after missing a sign. Good times.

Excellent Park for Outdoor Dog Events! We were there this weekend for a Fast Cat event with the Evansville Agility Club. Coming all the way from Cape Girardeau, Missouri we found the park very easily. The dog run was in the perfect location -- very flat and nice mowing job done on it and the path to walk to the fenced area. (The Bathrooms however... needed some attention. A little blue bowl cleaner and a bowl scrub brush and an attendant for all the trash would have been an easy fix) Other than that, it was a nice facility.

We went to check out the new nature playscape. My kids had a blast! I've enjoyed hiking their trails and bird watching since I was little. But the new play area make it ok for my kids to run a little wild, build forts, and get dirty. They got to see and follow lizards and bugs, dig holes, splash in water, climb on rocks, and generally explore nature. It was completely worth the entrance fee of $5 per adult and $3 per kid to go!

Went to a free event sunday. We made seed bombs! It was a fun time! We also got acorns to plant and sat in the sun in the nature center wooded entrance. And, we got to do a little bird watching. Had a nice time and the staff is super friendly! Oh, and all the little spring flowers are in bloom.

The only virgin forest of this size in the US within City limits, it is the best place to hike in the Evansville metro area. The trails are sufficiently long, although mostly flat. The deciduous forest is completely native with no invasive species. The nature center includes the best bird-watching area I have ever experienced.
