    Wonderful wonderful place. Totally love it. A nice size neighborhood park and lake. Has different path with covered shields. Totally not hot at all. Mary lake can fish. It has a lot of catfish and turtles. You literally need to watch out the turtle to come steal your bait. Great nice park and Mary lake.

    Great learning place for kids. The city of Lawrence has spentall there money on that dreadful art that the buy and put down town around town. So now they have no money's to keep it open. Shame on the city leaders for trying to shut it down. The children of Lawrence will be the ones that this will effect moast.

    I always love a visit to Prairie Park Nature Center. It's a wonderful, FREE place, perfect to bring kids. But even without kids it's fun to check out the animals and walk the lovely trails.

    My wife, son and I take a weekly walk here on the winding and well kept paved path! Definitely one of our favorite places to go to enjoy the flora and fauna of the area

    Had daughters bday party there. They give a presentation and had an owl lantern for the kids to craft together. Fun place, nice staff, and easy to do a birthday party.

    The walking trail is great any time of the year. There are always people fishing, running, biking, etc... The nature center is great for little kids.

    Neat little nature center with many live animals, including a pair of bald eagles. The park has several wonderful nature trails surrounding a lake.
