Children Benefit from Being Outside

Studies show that children are healthier, happier, and smarter when they play outside. Phil Hardberger Park promotes children who play and learn outdoors with over 3,500 children participating each year in our nature programs.

Our children's programs appeal to a range of ages and interests, and make learning about nature a fun experience. We hope to see you at our next event!
