Help us celebrate Earth Day. Bring the kids to the park and learn how you can help keep our environment clean, as well as help our local wildlife. Participate in fun activities where you'll learn to re-purpose items that might otherwise have ended up in the landfill. Here is a great way to turn trash to 'treasure'. Learn how to make a soda bottle birdfeeder using recyclable materials. All activities are free, but regular parking fees apply.
