(from Google)One of the best places to go on a budget while in Wichita! It's free! If you are able to have a tour with a naturist it is worth it. Trails are great and you have a chance to see anything from snakes to deer.
Beautiful walking trails and boardwalks through light plains and wooded areas with ponds. Lovely on low crowd days but can get busy during some weekend events and sunset hour. Be advised that no dogs are allowed- Service Dogs only- and park attendants WILL ask you to leave if they notice you bringing a pet in.
It could use more/better signage. Other than that, it's a very wonderful place. Several types of environments, & many different plants & animal species. Beautiful, clean, peaceful, safe, well designed. I spent 4 hours there & definitely want to return before leaving town.
Took my 13 and 14-year-old grandsons and they loved it. We fell in love with the turtles and then we found a creek and played for an hour. We will definitely be back before it gets cold.
A beautiful outdoor space with great and well-maintained walking trails. We saw deer right off the trail and so many amazing birds. We spent about an hour here and could’ve spent another hour on the trails! Nicely shaded by trees, as well, so it was great for a hot day.
