On Tuesday, May 27 and Thursday, May 29, there will be periods of one-way traffic control near the park entry due to construction along the park road. This will result in longer waits in and out of the park.
For the protection of habitat, please stay on designated trails. Swimming and wading in the creek are prohibited. ADA service animals only.
The Twin Cypress Picnic Area restrooms will be closed for construction from May 12 through July 10, 2025. The picnic area will remain open with two portable toilets for picnic area users while construction is in progress.

Program Mission
Our program uses environmental education to connect the knowledge gained by students in traditional classrooms with engaging outdoor learning experiences. These experiences support cognitive development and foster scientific inquiry skills. Students are inspired by personal discoveries and in turn develop an understanding of the interconnections in nature. Our lessons align with Arizona State Standards and are facilitated by park rangers and volunteers who are dedicated to fostering an intrinsic sense of wonder in young learners.
