Richmond Nature Park |
 The
Richmond Nature Park consists of 200 acres of the raised peat bog habitat that
once covered large portions of Lulu Island. Four walking trails totalling 7 km
in length provide visitors the opportunity to encounter plants and animals in
bog, forest and pond habitats. |
Richmond Nature Park Nature House |
| An interpretive centre located at the entrance of the Nature Park. It features interactive displays and games about the park, the bog, and other aspects of nature. There are activity kits, and active beehive, a small collection of live animals, and a gift shop. |
Richmond Nature Park Picnic Area |
| A covered shelter containing 6 tables is adjacent to the Nature House. There is a children's playground and wheelchair-accessible outdoor washroom facilities will be available by summer 2005. There are no food services in the park. |
Richmond Nature Park a Four Seasons Park |
|
The park is always changing. In spring, visitors can see and hear the
territorial fights of the hummingbirds as bog flowers bloom below. Summer days
are long, and the trails ideal for cool evening walks. Autumn brings owls,
northern migratory birds, and spectacularly coloured foliage. In winter,
visitors can hear varied thrushes and see winter birds at the feeders, or follow
animal tracks in the snow. The shortest trail, an elevated boardwalk around
the Park pond, is wheelchair accessible. Other trails are soft-surfaced with
wood chips. All trails are well marked, and a free trail guide is available in
the Nature House.
