Community Corner: We Need Your Ideas for the
Nature Exploration Area at Morrison Nature Center
|
|
|
|
We recently hosted a public input meeting to gather feedback on the new inclusive outdoor nature exploration area being built at Morrison Nature Center at Star K Ranch, 16002 E. Smith Road.
One tentative design component is Dinosaur Hill, connecting the area's past to its present. The hill will accurately portray the size of a dinosaur (60-70 feet) and include boulders that outline the dinosaur's bones. The space will encourage imaginative play, giving visitors of all ages the chance to explore, play and imagine what Aurora was like in the dino days!
One attendee said: "I want to compliment your creativity on the dinosaur component. That’s really genius to get the scope of how big a dinosaur is. Nice job!"
