Carrie Murray Nature Center

11 - 3 Naturalist and an animal ambassador

Stop by the nature center's table to meet an animal ambassador, discover artifacts (touching is encouraged) and check out brochures and fliers for upcoming events

1 - 2 Family-friendly nature walk

Join a naturalist for a relaxed, family-friendly nature walk through the beautiful forests of Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park. We'll meander the trails, forage for seasonal wineberries (when available), and slow down to notice the plants, animals, and hidden wonders that make this urban forest so special. Come connect with nature, ask questions, and enjoy a peaceful afternoon outdoors together.

Second Sunday tips

1. The Carrie Murray Nature Center has special hours on Second Sundays - from 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM. So you can stop by and visit after the trains stop running. 
2. At peak time, around noon, the parking lot at 1920 Eagle Drive (by the tennis courts) can fill up. It's easy to park at Sloman Drive and walk past the train tracks. 
3. If the weather is bad or uncertain check The Chesapeake & Allegheny Live Steamers Facebook page for event status.
