This really is a little hidden treasure for the Pasadena and surrounding areas. I had never even heard of it until this past summer and wow…it’s a treasure. It’s a little park built with nature. A nice quiet place for families to observe birds or other wildlife. When you get there they even let you borrow (for free) nature equipment. You can check out binoculars, sketching sullies and many other things to help you explore. They have nature experts to answer your questions at the welcome center. Or you can just walk right though and enjoy the park. They have a play house and other play equipment. They also have a mini gorge that the children can operate a pump to have the water trickle down. It’s a very interesting space. Bring a packed lunch a camera and plan to stay a while.
I think they also have other programs throughout the year that are both educational and fun. If you live in the area…it’s a must see. I know the address says LA…but Google it…Pasadena and South Pasadena are very close. I hope that gives you an idea as to where it is.
