Nature Exploration Area at Morrison Nature Center

Play. Learn. Explore.

The city of Aurora's Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department is seeking input from the community for the new inclusive outdoor nature exploration area being built at Morrison Center at Star K Ranch, 16002 E. Smith Road. The exploration area will consist primarily of elements and textures found in nature, including tree logs, boulders, plants, stumps and climbing elements, all dependent on the final design.

Over time, Star K Ranch has been a special place where species of all kinds come together to find water, food, shelter, safety, and connection. Aurora residents can feel grounded as they enjoy the riparian ecosystem of Star K Ranch.

The new nature exploration area at Star K Ranch will nurture the history of this unique Aurora Open Space while encouraging its community to explore, connect, and play.
