Park Facts:

This 82-acre scenic preserve includes a creek, woods, a prairie, meadows, and a wetland, all of which provide diverse habitat for the variety of area wildlife found here.  Once used as farmland, the property was donated to MetroParks by the Richard J. Fitton family.  A raised observation deck affords visitors a view of the prairie while trails run through the woods and meadows and along the wetland.  Future plans call for the development of a native tree and plant arboretum, environmental education features, and picnic sites.   

Hours:

The park is open daily from 8:00 a.m. until dark.
