Description
This park encompasses 880 acres, including a section of the South Platte River. Ecosystems along the flood plain include riparian woodlands, grasslands and wetlands. As a result of this diversity, the area is teeming with an assortment of wildlife. The Theo L. Carson Nature Center, located in the park, offers interactive displays, which detail the history of the South Platte River and its plants and animals.
Our daughter's 2nd grade class went on a field trip to South Platte Park. It was very educational and fun. The kids were able to catch crawfish and frogs in the stream. We plan on visiting again with family!
