Various spots throughout the park—some natural, others manmade—offer groups of all sizes a place to get together and enjoy themselves. There’s a bunch of playgrounds, pause places and picnic areas to choose from. Not to mention larger settings like our Amphitheater, Education Building, Conservation Hall and the popular Butterfly Garden and Pavilion.
