Our Work
“As a photographer, Wheeler Nature Park is a dream location to photograph people and families. It is such a peaceful escape and I love taking people here. Hiking the trails has always been a family favorite for my young kids. We've seen everything from owls to frogs along the way, and it was such an amazing refuge for my family during the pandemic. My kids love playing at the Community Garden after a trail hike, where they look forward to digging for dinosaurs in the sandbox, reading the walking stories and climbing up the treehouse. We are so lucky to have this incredible beauty in our community.”
