1. PLACES / FOUNTAIN CREEK NATURE CENTER
Fountain Creek Nature Center is open all year round and has water fountains and indoor restrooms.  There are a variety of exhibits within the center, and allows kids to learn and explore.  The nature trail begins with a gradual downhill to a bridge that crosses a pond.  Here you can see ducks, geese, and turtles. While you continue along the trail there are educational plaques to learn about the area.  There is a large cottonwood tree that offers shade and is a great snack spot.  The trail continues along the creek, which provides shade.  Be careful of the fast moving water. It is a loop trail with other connecting trails, so you can make your hike longer if desired. This trail is all-terrain stroller friendly. There is a lot of wildlife to see along the trail.
