Pond & Wetlands
Water always seems to be an attraction for children, and these areas are planned to entice and thrill. Located at the core of the garden, the McElligot’s Pool pond is visually highlighted by a wooden bridge and whimsical fish sculptures. Children can lean over the rope railing above the shallow water to look for frogs and fish. Bird sculptures reside in the wetland environment and bring to mind the efforts to save the whooping cranes and trumpeter swans.
