The Indigenous Peoples were well known for being quite clever in their usage of the abundant natural resources found in the woodlands and coastal region, but did you know that these tribes were also compelled to use these same resources for sport and game playing? Come join us as we explore indigenous history by playing games of chance and skill as they were invented and played so many years ago. “Wood” you like to play? Recommended for ages 6+. 

Games made from branches and walnuts with forest scene in background.

We strive to make our programming and special event opportunities accessible and inclusive to all. If you have an accessibility or inclusivity concern, please reach out to our front office to speak with a ranger or contact us through the park email address.
