Anne Kolb Nature Center, Hollywood

Located inside Lake Forest Park is this wonderful nature center. The nature center is something that people of all ages will enjoy. The park is free and has a good amount of parking. It also has nice indoor bathrooms available at the entrance to the nature center. A sign on the door says Masks are required but only 50% of the guests were wearing masks and I didn’t see any workers inside the nature center but there must be someone working there. Don’t miss all of the hiking trails and the Lookout tower behind the Nature Center

This is my second time in the over 20 years I have lived in Hollywood to visit. Why did I wait so long. Such a wonderful place...especially if you are in need of a dose of nature in the middle of a hectic city day. The exhibits are well done and more being put in. Great gift shop to support the center and of course the nature trail. Not much wildlife activity when I was there except for one Osprey Circling but the walk to the waters edge on the trail was nice. I also recommend going up to the observation deck. You can take stairs or the elevator to get there for a majestic view of the surrounding area. I remember now I visited last time in the summer. No mosquitoes. Totally delightful.
