Unity Park Wetlands

Untiy Park Wetlands along the northern part of the 60-acre Unity Park. The Wetlands project includes an outdoor classroom as part of an ADA-accessible boardwalk providing new public access to these currently overlooked and unapproachable wetlands. This area serves as an outdoor classroom for educating the public about the important environmental contribution of wetlands and the need to preserve them. Additionally, the tranquil area features a boardwalk path through the restored wetlands to observe wildlife and native plants. The wetlands serve as a beautiful, natural focal point in Unity Park, and are important to the health and prosperity of communities. They help in flood abatement, naturally filter harmful pollutants from water, store carbon and keep it from being released as a greenhouse gas and provide visitors an opportunity to enjoy diverse plant and animal life while learning about wetland habitats, the species that live there, and the ecology’s importance to our environment.
