Eden Park is a 146 acre park donated by Donna Eden in 2011. Eden Park features mowed grass trails through two beautiful prairie sections separated by a stream valley with a low water crossing. A fluctuating wetland area to the north is home to amphibians, reptiles, and water loving birds.
Eden Park is home to a nature playscape, water bottle filling station/drinking fountain/dog watering station, picnic table, and seasonal portable toilet. Future plans include a picnic shelter.
