Discovery Park is a great place to get away to nature for a day without having to drive an hour or more. The park has many different environments; woods, meadow and beach. All are easily accessed and explored using the many paths that criss-cross the park. Discovery Park is also an ideal introduction to nature for smaller kids. The paths are relatively wide and gradual, except the one to the beach. If your plans include taking small kids to the beach, stop by the Nature Center for a parking pass so you can drive rather than hike.
