Fry Family Park

Overview

This 360-acre rural property has beautiful rolling topography with a mixture of grasslands, hardwood forests, a pond, wetlands, and significant stream and wooded riparian corridor. It provides habitat for an array of songbirds, game birds, raptors, and small mammals. A catch and release fishing pond is a .30 mile walk from the parking area next to the barn. Use the access drive on the left traveling up the main driveway. Over 4 miles of natural surface trails travel around the park.

The Visitor Center building includes a science lab, library, classroom and multi-purpose room with outdoor gathering spaces available for rent. The building is a meeting place for scheduled public and requested programs.

In addition to providing stunning views of sunrises and sunsets, Fry Family Park is a certified Urban Night Sky location with little light pollution from the surrounding area.
From November 1 to April 30, the shelter area lights are off for stargazing on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays evenings. From May through October the lights are off only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. While the shelter lights are still turned on for rental groups, there is an override switch to temporarily turn them off during your stargazing visit.
