“We helped to clean up at this park and there was very little trash amongst maintained areas of the preserve.”

What parents say

What a clean and beautiful little park. A nicely maintained 1/4 mile walk down a paved trail offers views of indigenous Flora and fauna and many species of fowl and raptor. A small learning playground for children is clean and safe.

Small neighborhood preserve style park. Saginaw Basin Land Conservancy has some beneficial educational post boards about native plants and animals. We helped to clean up at this park and there was very little trash amongst maintained areas of the preserve.

★★★★★ — Travis, Aug 2025

This is a neat little nature preserve tucked away on a busy commercial street. There is a playground with logs, rocks, a cabin, a pebble harp, and a set of chimes. There are information markers along the path, and a little platform at the end of the trail where you can observe animals. We saw a lot of ducks.

★★★★☆ — Jessica, Apr 2022

Great spot for a little walk. Perfect for kiddos with the nature playground and great for elderly folks as there are benches along the walkway to stop for breaks. Lots of birds and wildlife to see too.
