Start 2025 with a meaningful resolution to reconnect with nature alongside your family! Kick off this journey by joining in on a naturalist-led guided hike starting at the Orange Beach Sportsplex, continuing down Twin Bridges, and ending at the Butterfly Garden. This paved, 2-mile, round-trip hike is perfect for all ages. At the Butterfly Garden, kids can enjoy climbing boulders, while the whole family can relax in the screened-in picnic area—ideal for snacks and coloring.
If you want to keep the momentum going, join the 2025 Nature Reconnect Initiative! Next time you are at the Nature Center, pick up a mini nature journal for your family (while supplies last) and set a goal to attend 25 Gulf State Park events or programs throughout the year. Complete this challenge and earn a spot on the Nature Center Wall of Fame, where your name and photo will be proudly displayed!
Join in to embrace nature, create lasting memories, and make 2025 your best year yet!
The address for the Orange Beach Sportsplex is: 4385 William Silvers Pkwy, Orange Beach, AL 36561
