This isn't really a park, but it does have parking and an entrance to the Urban Trail heading north.
This spot has a lot to admire. At first glance, it doesn't look so appealling. Take a moment to walk around and 'explore'... we accidently disturbed a beautiful Blue Heron in their nest when we placed the cache.... There's a little pond and a big water tank.... What else do you see? We'd love to hear about it in your logs... Are you tired of micros? Bring the traders here! This one will hold most anything you can imagine, within a hands hold.. .... This cache is part of the Nature Explore Jr Geo Trek, visit the webpage for more details. (http://adultsforlilsprouts.wordpress.com/) Wetland From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. [1] A wetland is a land area that is saturated with water, either permanently or seasonally, such that it takes on characteristics that distinguish it as a distinct ecosystem.[2] The primary factor that distinguishes wetlands is the characteristic vegetation that is adapted to its unique soil conditions: Wetlands are made up primarily of hydric soil, which supports aquatic plants.[3][4] The water found in wetlands can be saltwater, freshwater, or brackish.[4] Subsets of wetlands include swamps, marshes, and bogs, among others.[5] Wetlands play a number of roles in the environment, principally water purification, flood control, and shoreline stability. Wetlands are also considered the most biologically diverse of all ecosystems, serving as home to a wide range of plant and animal life.[6] Wetlands occur naturally on every continent except Antarctica.[5] They can also be constructed artificially as a water management tool, which may play a role in the developing field of Water Sensitive Urban Design. The study of wetlands has recently been termed paludology in some publications.[7] Wetlands also are known internationally as "inland water," and as "coastal" or "marine" ecosystems. The UN Millennium Ecosystem Assessment determined that environmental degradation is more prominent within wetland systems than any other ecosystem on Earth. International conservation efforts are being used in conjunction with the development of rapid assessment tools to inform people about wetland issues.
