Wildlife

Deer can be often spooted throughout the park. A butterfly and hummingbird garden is located in the park. Habitats vary over park from restored prairie to old-field, hardwood forest, ponds, mixed woods and the Pigeon River.[1]

Ecology Center

The recently built Ecology Center provides hands-on educational opportunities for students and the general public. The center holds science programs, summer camps and public events.[2] Observation Bee Hive is located within the Ecology Center.

Maywood Earth Ride

The Maywood Earth Ride is an annual non-competitive event for bicycle riders of all ages and abilities. The Earth Ride is not a race and the course is not closed. The annual event rises funds for maintenance of the park.[3]
