Enjoy your visit!
For the safety of visitors and our community we will operate with limited capacity. Center hours will be Tuesday-Saturday 10am-3pm until further notice. Our inside restrooms and water fountains will be closed. However, you can access the outdoor restrooms, located just outside our entrance, as they are cleaned regularly by the Metro Parks staff. In addition, our library and playroom are closed until further notice. Our adventure backpacks and most manipulatives are currently unavailable.
Beginning September 15th we'll be offering new and exciting visitor engagement activities and opportunities for people of all ages. Recognizing the importance of keeping you safe, many of our outdoor programs will have capacity limitations but will be offered frequently based on interest.
