![]() A new building housing classrooms, offices, and rest rooms opened to the public in October of 2000. This facility provides space for park district nature programs that are conducted for school groups and the general public. A wide variety of habitats from mature forests to wetlands, meadows, and prairies offer students opportunities for nature study. The nature programs offer hands-on experiences in the study of the environment.
![]() The Wolf Creek Educational Wetlands, a project that recreated over four acres of this park's marsh ecosystem, has a boardwalk which permits visitors to travel "into" the wetland for study and wildlife viewing. A deep water pond provides opportunities for pond study. An accessible path will make the building, wetlands, deep water pond and prairie areas available for people of all abilities.
