Bring binoculars and spot herons, ducks, and other wildlife. Spring is prime time for bird activity, so keep your eyes (and ears) open. But every season brings birds to the park.
Combine reading and exploring with pages of a children’s book posted along a trail—perfect for younger kids who need a little extra motivation to keep moving. Our current story is "Leaf Thief" by Alice Hemming.
While there, check out the self-guided TRACK Trails program for a fun and interactive way to learn about our local wildlife and plants. Perfect for curious kids!
Keep an eye out for creative and unexpected installations and beautiful murals. Let kids interpret what they see! Our handy public art trail and map makes it easy to explore our18 unique Wonder Windows, 2 murals, and a special flock of birds.
Cast a line from shore and see what bites. It’s a relaxing way to slow things down and enjoy the lake together.
Whether you check off one or all five, Hagg Lake offers a variety of activities for a family-friendly adventure.
