Jewell Wetlands Park

Very nice park with walking trails, a small pond, wildlife and a butterfly garden. This will be even better in a month or so when there are leaves, but now you could see the big nests in the trees. Saw geese feeding, several birds including a woodpecker and some rabbits on this visit. There are some benches along the way and a lookout where you can sit and watch.

Beautiful local wetlands! I highly recommend this place for families with elementary age kids. Bring your binoculars to checkout the birds. I was told that there were sightings of eagles. I couldn’t tell what birds I encountered in the picture below.

I love this park because it's got an easy walk to a really cool picnic area! The walk to the spot takes you past a pond and over a long boardwalk! It's perfect for toddlers who really don't want to walk that far. You could probably even get away with pushing the stroller out there!

This is a quick walk (20 minutes give or take). This is a dog friendly park (please pick up after your pets), there is a portapott. Parking is limited.

A real gem of a park. A nice place to spend an afternoon enjoying nature or walking your dog. The small pond contains turtles and various waterfowl, and has a few benches to relax on. A good place to do some birdwatching as well.

I love this park. Sadly the wet land are turning into the dry lands though. City of Aurora, take all that money we give to you and clean up the downed trees. Its like a tree cemetery. Heck there are broken and downed branches in other dead branches 20 feet in the air. But other then the possible fire and crush damage, I will always think of the park as a hidden gem. Please if your reading this don't go there, keep it hidden, even from yourself!

Well maintained public park and open space for a beautiful nature walk, complete with benches and picnic area. Colorful and varied landscape, specifically during Spring and Summer. The trees and bushes provide peaceful and interesting contemplation. But even during winter, the park textures are well designed to invite contemplation.
