Bear Creek Regional Park and Nature Center

Bear Creek Regional Park extends across 845 acres of land with diverse habitats including scrub oak thickets, ponderosa pine forests, meadows, and mountain creek areas.

The land served as a residential poor farm from the late 1800s until the early 1980s, where residents maintained gardens and lived in facilities including the Pest House.

The nature center conducts interpretive programs, guided tours, and educational presentations about local flora and fauna for visitors throughout the year.

The park features multiple recreational facilities including tennis courts, soccer fields, an archery range, and 25 acres of designated off-leash dog areas.

The Charmaine Nymann Community Garden within the park maintains organic vegetables, continuing an agricultural tradition that started in 1900.
