Spring is here! Enjoy the nice weather at Brandywine Creek; you can hear the many resident and migrating birds singing all around the park. Wildflowers are blooming, as well. The best place in the park to find native wildflowers is in Tulip Tree Nature Preserve and the Freshwater Marsh Nature Preserve. Naturalists are available at the nature center to answer any questions you may have about flowers, birds, or other animals you may see while spending time here.
Hawk Watch hill is a great place to fly a kite during the windy spring weather. Join us for Kite Day on April 17, we always have a great time flying kites, making box kites and enjoying music at the pavilion. Stop by the pavilion to fill out a raffle ticket for a free door prize.
There are different spring activities to participate in at the park, including stream stomps, wildflower walks, canoe trips down the Brandywine, or our monthly bird walks and owl prowls. Check out the program guide for dates and information.
