(from Google)The playground is amazing and the hiking trails are great. Our homeschool group loves coming here to explore and do nature based lessons. However, I have noticed that the nature center itself seems to be more for events than popping in and hanging out. We brought 5 kids in to explore and utilize the toys/activities and someone came in and told us we needed to “keep it down” because there were offices across the hallway. The other moms and I were pretty taken aback considering our kids were at a normal volume and just having fun doing a puzzle and checking out the displays. Come for the playground and trails but, skip the nature center if you have small children.
Today was my first time visiting Flat Rock Brook Nature Center and it was a beautiful fall day. I was so happy I was able to witness a female , male , and baby deer . What a Gorgeous Place
This beautiful hiking area is in Englewood and the newly renovated playground is a work of art and imagination!! There is a sunset guided hike every Tuesday from May through October for free.
Wonderful outdoor adventure playground. Such a well maintained little forest adventure playground for young kids. The water is running and clean and safe for even the youngest kiddos to enjoy. There are plenty of benches and picnic tables nearby. There's a public restroom right over the bridge. The playground itself is small but unique. Wooden natural climbing structures, balance beams, a slide and a little music section. Bring water shoes, a change of clothes, a towel and sand toys for a day of outdoor fun! Parking is limited on Jones Street but I parked on a nearby cross street and walked.
OVERALL: A great hidden gem in Englewood with easy access yet a calm, quiet, and spacious park. PARKING: Good amount of parking, can get full quickly. TRAILS: Trails are maintained well but still have a natural feeling, a lot of really nice and long walks with so much varying scenery. INFORMATION CENTER: A nice little building by the parking lot that has additional information about the park, great for kids to explore. WATERFALL: I loved the waterfall, it was so calm and peaceful, but also a great place for kids to climb through rocks, etc.
