I have been going to Huntley Meadows Park for 4 years. I love coming here during spring because I can see pretty spring ephemeral flowers, and see the geese have their babies here. The walkway is beautiful, and you definitely feel like you are a part of the wetland because the walkway takes you to the middle of it. It is a magical sight. I bring my binoculars to look at great blue herons, great egrets, and green herons, and to see if I get lucky in spotting other birds/animals.

I saw a poster on their community board about a woodcock walk. It was the last woodcock walk that they were hosting this year, and in the 2 previous walks the group didn t see them. On the last walk we were able to see 2-3 woodcock males displaying romance. We also saw 2 owls. The naturalist that led this walk was awesome! I can t wait for future classes that Huntley Meadows Park offers.

I love visiting during the summer too. Mosquito spray is a must during the summer here.

There are 3 entrances to the park. I only have been using 2. Both the Lockheed Blvd. and the South Kings Highway have parking lot structures. The Lockheed Blvd. entrance has the visitor center with restrooms.

This park is beautiful! I will continue visiting the park!
