Diversity
As you enter the site off of Johnson road, notice the diverse, mesic prairie restoration project on both sides of the road leading to the District amenities (bathrooms, shelter, etc). As you hike the nature trail, you will see the ancient oak grove and high quality portion of the Nippersink Creek that this site protects. You can also see some lovely rose bushes along the trail near the parking lot, remanents of when there was a residence on this site.
