Dora Kelley Nature Park

I have been going to this park since I have been in middle school. I am now in my late 20s. As a kid, I would just care about riding my bike through the trails. As I got older I use this park as my way to heal myself from a rough day, or just find my balance again. This park is really refreshing. I walk, jog, or ride my bike along the Holmes Run Stream. There are a few trails that go off from the main trail. I love the trail that goes into the woodlands. I recommend going to that trail if you like hiking. There are many native plants and animals that I have seen here throughout the years. There are a few classes that I participated in at the Jerome Buddie Ford Nature Center. I love the annual spring ephemeral walk they host. I love this park, and will continue going! If you ever want to participate in a community clean-up, we usually clean the Dora Kelley Nature Park in April.

This place holds a special place in my heart. My puppy loved to swim in the streams, and stroll through the paths. Very quiet for being so incredibly close to the city. -RIP Guinness-
