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. They learn about the animals and habitats of Brightwood Park through literature, music, movement and exploration of the park.
Our quarterly Brightwood Kids newsletters offer deeper insights into the nature found in the park.
