| A Natural Area is...
A quiet place to walk or run. The trails are maintained for careful walking. (For safety and trail damage reasons, wheeled vehicles are banned by city ordinance.)
A grand place for nature study. There is a wide variety of trees, shrubs and leafy plants...some of the older trees date from about 1900. The low growing plants are sensitive to foot traffic, so it's best to stay on trails.
Possibly a place to picnic...but littered natural areas aren't very natural. A simple rule is to take out everything you take in. And fire is the worst enemy of all. (Camping, guns of all sorts, and fires are also banned by city ordinance.)
