Working with Jade, an employee of the center, was a breeze. She was eager to help us and even asked two of the centers photographers to guide us to the best spots and help us with camera settings. Don and Marty were experts in their field and were instrumental in the success of our adventure. If you haven't been to the center, it is a hidden gem.

The Wetland Center is located in the middle of the East Fork Wetland on the Trinity River basin…read morewhich primary purpose is to filter treated wastewater to supplement the water supply for 1.7 million people living in North Texas. It is then pumped to Lake Lavon to supply water to the residents of North Texas. Approximately 2,100 acres make up JBS. About 1,840 acres of that are actually just water being used by the North Texas Municipal Water District to clean and process water drawn from the adjacent East Fork of the Trinity River. The wetlands provide a habitat to migratory birds; grazing for livestock; and emergency fodder during periods of drought. The wetlands include shallow-water plants, shrub swamps, and flooded bottomland hardwood forests. I been coming to this place since 2010 and every visit is just as wonderful as the last one I had. I always been here during the summer months with my school kids on field trips and never had an issue booking a time for us to visit and get our kids into the learning classrooms. The kids get a small background intro about the wetlands and the important lessons on the ecosystem present there and how the water cycle works. They get to go down to the water and collect samples and then they run them back to the classroom and look at the water under the microscope and they love every minute of it!! This particular visit our busses ran late making us almost 40 minutes late from our start time with JBS but they great staff made it work and did not skimp on any of the activities the had planned for our group. They are great to work with when we bring our own lunch and eat it on the premises. They have a porch that overlooks the water and those rocking chairs make it so hard to leave. When I sit down on a rocking chair on that porch i forget about everything and just listen to the sounds of nature. It is a beautiful place to visit and I recommend going anytime. It is a bit of a drive so make sure you fill up on gas before exiting the highway.

The city recently installed bathrooms on site, planted additional trees, a sun shield over the playground to lower the impact from the sun and keep the kiddies cooler, and some workout stations. Additionally, as mentioned before it does have a paved walking trail and pavilion. Along the trail there are two perpetually stocked dog waste bag stations and trash cans so folks can clean up after their pets. There is no water fountain at this park and I hope they install one with a dog fountain attachment at the bottom someday soon (the thought of drinking out of the bathroom is gross to me,sorry).Go here in the early morning or closer to dusk.
