Nature Gardens
Alert
LAKEFRONT TRAIL ALERT:The bike & pedestrian trails are open in their entirety, but caution must be used at the Oak St. curve where the trail narrows considerably. Additionally, icy conditions are still possible, especially in the morning. Crews are monitoring daily, starting at 6 am. Please exercise caution.
The Park District's nature gardens are smaller planting beds that contain only native plants. Visits to these gardens, with species often planted in clumps, are a great opportunity for patrons to learn how to identify native flowers that they may also find in some of the larger natural areas that can be found throughout our parks.
