• The Penn Learning Center (marked as “Education Center” on the map) is located on the Oystercatcher trail, accessible from the Penn parking lot (1750 Pennsylvania Ave/1750 Granville Payne Ave). It’s about a 10 minute walk from the parking lot.

• The Fountain Learning Center (marked as “Education Center” on the map) ) is located on the Fountain Ring Drive trail, accessible from the Fountain parking lot (950 Fountain Ave). It’s about a 15-20 minute walk from the parking lot.

Dress for the weather, and bring plenty a water bottle! There are water refill stations near the port-a-potties on both sides of the park. We recommend wearing comfortable hiking shoes as park trails are a combination of paved and gravel surfaces.
