Great place to learn about Park City Ecology. The learning center is next to Maxwell’s Pizza, but you can view the preserve from many surrounding trails. No human access in the preserve unless on an official tour, but there are several different trails surrounding the preserve north and south of the highway.
So glad we stopped by to visit the Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter. Staff on duty were attentive & most helpful. It's a wonderful experience for kids & adults alike. A true assest to this community.
A beacon for environmental education. At its heart lies a 10,000 sq ft Leed Platinum-certified EcoCenter, an architectural and sustainability marvel that houses interactive displays, summer camps, nature exhibits, and educational programs for both children and adults. Both the visitor center and the trails are highly recommended!
This center is great for kids. There were so many activities for them to learn from. Also available hikes and nature observing opportunities. Come here with your kids and check it out!
Stunning! The late-summer views were spectacular. Children loved it! (Animal dress ups were a big hit.) Interactive play and binoculars to borrow. We saw varieties of birds & ducks, snakes, and a beaver. Don’t miss the look-out tower.
