Annie Louise Wilkerson, MD Nature Preserve Park

Visited the preserve on an April afternoon with my furbaby. It had been several years since I first went and very happy to see the additional amenities now there. Thanks to the late Dr. Wilkerson for having the vision to have her homestead be a sanctuary in the middle of very urban area. Beautiful green spaces, pond, gardens, trails, wildlife, education center and friendly staff. Time well spent getting away from the noise and in nature.

Knowledgeable staff, great information about flora and fauna of the region, terrific education information available and a beautiful green space and walking trails.

Didn’t know this park existed, and it's so close to our place. Went there in mid-November before sunset, and it was wonderful! The pastel sky, leaves changing colors in the background like a wonderland, even a little deer came out. There are nice trails for a walk. Highly recommended!

This park always feels so secluded even though it is right off a main road. The trails are simple enough for an inexperienced hiker. We like to bring a pic nic and eat at one of the tables then hike. We always see deer in the tall grasses. The Fairy Trail is cute, but so many spider webs! 🕷

I came out here this weekend with my friend Sarah for a solid 4 mile hike. Good times! We saw a lot of friendly people, and as you can see in the photos there was this really cute project that children in the area were doing where they make little fairy houses. Such a pleasant afternoon. :-)
