  • The wetlands is a free resources that all ages can enjoy. Bring a hat, water, juice, a stroller if you have kids. No bicycles allowed. There are some shaded areas but if it’s hot out prepare to get a lot of sun. Lots of birds, Lizards and alligators. There are educational writings about each bird that is in the wetlands. It’s beautiful nature with a lot of sounds of birds and visuals for kids If you or a consumer or the owner and like this review you could say thank by following me on Google reviews and liking this post…. ……. Have The best day ever. .. If you or a consumer or the owner and like this review you could say thank by following me on Google reviews and liking this post…. ……. Have The best day ever. ..
  • I was so pleased to be at this area to see the birds, their babies and being able to enjoy nature. The boardwalk with benches and the pavilions allow a resting spot for those that need it. I loved being able to just walk and absorb the view. The chatter of the birds was hypnotic. Great idea for the area.
