Nature Center Takes Shape

November 2025

Our Nature Center is coming along! It will be centered in a day-use area which will also feature a group pavilion, amphitheater, classrooms and picnic areas. 

Inside the Nature Center, we will have displays which tell the story of ABK from the past to the present, and on into the future. Fabrication of interactive activities, visual representations and interpretive panels is already underway!

But that's not all that's happening here!

Entering the Park

The newly-installed bridge will take visitors across Bessie's Creek into the field where headquarters will be located. 

Bridge with metal railing.

Headquarters is framed and ready for next construction steps.

Here, visitors will check in and visit our park store. They can also spend a few minutes sitting on the porch, taking in a great view of the surrounding area.
