Review:
A green oasis in the middle of a thriving industrial neighborhood, Augustus F. Hawkins Nature Park was actually once a cement pipe storage yard. You’ll never know it from how it looks now, as the 8½ acre open space is a serene urban landscape that visitors love. As you walk along the park’s path, you’ll go through rolling hills, riparian areas, and gorgeous native plant communities. During your visit, be sure to stop by the Evan Frankel Discovery Center which is full of nature displays and interactive exhibits. You can also schedule your visit around one of the park’s many interpretive learning programs which they host throughout the year.
