Reed Creek Park

...and got to walk through the interpretive center and see the permanent displays and collect some information about recycling programs and watch kids doing various activities and take a walk on the boardwalk, all before the rain came.

...unfortunately it is supposed to rain.

I stopped by this small park today and took a walk on the short boardwalk trail which is built over a small wetlands area. It was a little bit too cold today to sit and watch for wildlife very long. There is a new trail under construction, but you need mud boots in order to hike it, especially after our recent rain. There is also a new interpretive center, but it was closed today. And there are events scheduled for both kids and adults starting in February.

So, what I want to do is
(1) go on a warmer day (but while it is still cold enough to avoid bugs and snakes).
(2) go on a day when the interpretive center is open.
(3) get some mud boots and try out one of the events next month, like a bird-watching event.

Also, the name of the park is mis-spelled, and should be “Reed Creek.” A list of events can be found here

Thank-you, Robots, for correcting the spelling of the park name!

This is a new park nearby that I’ve never visited.
