The Sunrise Lawn is the perfect place to blow off steam and let kids be kids. The level lawn area serves as an ever-changing toy chest of hula-hoops and other lawn games – a lighthearted invitation for spontaneous family fun. An east-facing rolling grassy hill doubles as lawn blanket seating for large programs and festivities.
The Ascent
Ohio bottomland trees transition to upland species as visitors make the gradual ascent to the Canopy Walk. Strollers, wheelchairs and people of all physical abilities traverse this gentle rise lined with native Ohio trees.
Boulder Scramble
The Boulder Scramble, tucked into the tallest part of the slope, gives little climbers quick access to and from the Tree Top Bridge to the Mulberry Perch.
Ohio Grove
A newly planted grove of native Ohio trees, the Ohio Grove creates a diverse and rich collection of trees to enhance the canopy experience while at the same time introducing youngsters to native leaves, flowers and fruits.
