The Locust Grove Nature Center building was originally a warming hut for a commercial toboggan operation. Today it is an ideal spot to watch birds and other small creatures. Exhibits include a child-friendly “Life of an Oak Tree”, live animals and other hands-on activities. You can explore fields, wetlands and streambanks all within a quick walk of the center. Nearby at the park are playgrounds, a miniature train, snack bar, picnic areas, indoor/outdoor tennis courts, an indoor ice skating rink and lighted athletic fields.
