A great chance for parents to have a night out while the kids get to experience the Nature Park in a way few others ever do.  Gather in the Interpretive Center, have dinner (pizza and veggies), then head out into the Park after dark to explore and look for wildlife. No flashlights needed! There is a wildlife mystery to be solved at the nature park. Grab your magnifying glass and try to follow the clues that were left behind. Can you follow the tracks to find out whodunnit? Suitable for ages 6-12 years. Advanced registration required; call 503/629-6350.
