Get Lost in Nature - It’s nice to plan time to recharge and a great way to do that is to get out in nature. We have plenty of parks and nature areas for you to explore. If you want to stay close to downtown, we recommend Nichols Arboretum, or if you’d like to get out a bit further, explore Rolling Hills County Park.
