Discovery Park Environmental Learning & Visitor Center hosts environmental education programming, including school field trips, throughout the year. These programs are hands-on experiences employing games, props, and activities to enhance the learning adventure. They are developed to give people a positive experience outdoors and a sense of community and connection with our green spaces. Every quarter, new programs are offered based upon the seasons and the interests of the public. Pre-registration is required for all programs so please peruse the offerings on the right to find something that interests you and register today!
