Hawks Hollow is open to the public during regular park hours, from dawn until dusk. Hawks Hollows aims to get children using their imaginations and senses to experience the smells, textures and wonders of the natural world. Note: The playground’s water features will turn off for the season on October 1. Please see table below for specific water hours. All other playground features remain open year round.
Hawks Hollow features eight interactive learning stations featuring native bird, tree and bug species. With a focus on local plants and wildlife, these learning stations aim to inspire children to explore further on and off the nature playground, nurturing a life-long connection to their environment.
Some of the learning stations include:
King Fisher Crossing: allows visitors to create art in soil tables and on mud walls, identify webbed bird tracks, manipulate water and learn about the importance of wetlands to birds.
Songbird Stage: features a wood stage and log seating area with nature based musical instruments for creative musical play.
Raptor’s Roost: provides a variety of hands-on large motor activities such as a falcon message center, pulley system, optic scopes for bird watching and a multi-level tree house with spiral slide, roped web climbers and a tree top eagles nest overlook.
