The EcoCenter located in Heron’s Head Park serves as a classroom for many local schools, community-based organizations, and government agencies. The EcoCenter’s motto of "Discovering Nature Through Hands-on Learning" is exhibited in its regular programming and seasonal workshops. Beyond the classroom, the EcoCenter includes an outdoor Nature Exploration Area, winner of UNICEF’s 2021 Cities Inspires Award, for the safe, clean, sustainable, and child-friendly environments category. Youth and families can play in the Create with Nature Zones, challenge their balance on the suspended rope bridge, hide in the tree cave or simply relax, taking in the views and reflecting on the juxtaposition of the park and its industrial surroundings.The EcoCenter also offers day camps during the summer and special events throughout the year!
