Wow.
Normally we drive out to Kensingston , but we decided to change it up and use our annual Metro Parks pass and explore another park The next closest park was Indian Springs. This location is about 1/3 the size of Kensingston, but I think the facilities are newer.
Similar to Kensingston, there is a golf course, a nature center, water park, nike paths and plenty of picnic options. We sent our time at the nature center and walking the nature trails, looking at the fauna and flora.
The nature center has a very unique feature. there is a glass under water observation room. You can go into this glass room about 8 feet under the surface of the water, and observe fish and aquatic life from below. Unfortunately, the pond above was a little murky and we couldn't see much activity. Also in the nature center they have a number of displays and live animals, ok reptiles.
Outside there are a number of gravel paths that weave across a couple of rolling hills or natural wild flowers and grasses. They also have an extensive and well label wild flower and plant garden.
We were surprised by the number of act ivies being offered and there wasn't many people. Its worth checking this Metro Park.
We drove by the water park, and children's active area, and the kids seem to be having fun. read more
