The Play Trail at Boxerwood Nature Center & Woodland Garden

Winter & Woodland Garden

After perusing the sights at the Boxerwood Garden, let the kids run wild at the Garden's Play Trail, which is designed specifically for young children. Kids can experience nature by making mud pies, playing in the stream, crawling through a willow tunnel,  all without costing you a dime!
