As the nature-park counterpart to the Multigenerational Recreation Center and active recreation across the street, Valley Vista offers a depth of nature-based experiences unique in the urban environment. A remnant post oak savanna with a blend of the blackland prairie, the site is characterized by its sloping topography toward a very defined creek along the south and east boundary. The park host a hierarchy of trail experiences that explore the diversity of this natural habitat. The primary destination in the park is the Nature Discovery Area ñ a lookout tower nestled in the trees that includes program areas, boardwalks, and nature play elements that celebrate the textures and experiences of this urban sanctuary.
