🌿🌷Signs of Spring: May 22, 2026 🌷🌿

It's a rainy and cool spring day, which feels like a fitting end to our Signs of Spring series. We hope you enjoyed following along with all the changes in the park, and though this series might be done, there are still plenty of places to explore along the trails.

And the fun's not over - with Turtle Fest, Performance on the Patio, and other exciting events, we can't wait to see you in the parks this summer!

🌿🌷Signs of Spring: May 16, 2026 🌷🌿

A day late since we've been busy behind the scenes preparing for summer - and the weather would seem to agree 😎

Spring is in full bloom with summer well on its way, and it's evident in the full, leafy trees, the picnic areas dappled with sunlight, and bright blue skies over the waterways.

If you've stopped by the park, you might notice our prairie areas look a little different!

Each spring, Three Rivers' Natural Resources Management conducts prescribed burns in various parks, helping control invasive species, increase native plant growth and improve quality wildlife habitat.

Though the ground looks charred and black now, new plants will soon start to push through - and stay tuned right here over the next few weeks as we share the progress.
