Go here at least twice a week to walk my dog. Trails are well maintained, staff is extremely friendly, and I see community events here all of the time. They work with homeschoolers, private and public schools to give educational classes about the environment and preservation. Love spending my time here! Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys long walks & nature. Oh also, it is attached to the Greenway Trails.
Sandy Creek Nature Center is a real gem for the Athens community! We took our three grandchildren (ages 7,4 and 2) over the Thanksgiving holidays, and they all had a great time. The exhibits are so well done. We had the good fortune of bumping into two SCNC naturalists (Kate Mowbray and Michelle Cash) who took the time to chat and answer questions. Great place, great staff. Highly recommend.
Neat place for kids and they have a gift shop! Lots of free programs, plenty of parking, hiking trails, access to Greenway, an ADA trail (flat boardwalk, but downhill), and kids playground which is very neat and rustic. A few picnic tables but not many. Apparently, they host kid birthday parties there as well.
