Whether your interest is botany, ornithology or observing the seasonal changes occurring in the park, you will enjoy watching nature alongside the joggers, picnickers, those celebrating, and the many other park users. As you prepare to visit the park or want to know what its natural community is like, consider the descriptions of the four habitats given in this site.  Your journey is just a click away! ​
