Wonderful Outdoor Adventure close to town
The Louise Kreher Forest Ecology Preserve is a great place to take your kids for some outdoor fun or just a great place to take a walk in the woods. They have a nice trail with several places to stop, a playground for kids and lots of educational opportunities provided by Auburn University.

Fantastic
The Ecology Preserve is absolutely fantastic. It is gorgeous and very well-maintained. The trails are great, and the playground is a huge hit with younger kids. They regularly have programs and camps that are always good. Members can book the pavilion and a short animal program (with live animals) for birthday parties. There's also a fantastic fire ring and amphitheater. My favorite part - no dogs allowed! Keeps it clean and friendly to young children. Much better than stepping in dog mess all day long like you do at Kiesel Park.
