Friends of Brightwood Park welcomes children to the park
to learn about nature!
Brightwood Park is a great place for children to learn about nature.
FOBP has developed a Nature Detectives program for children aged 2 through 8 to inspire a love of the environment.
Our quarterly Brightwood Kids newsletters offer deeper insights into the nature found in the park.
