About the Park

Heritage Shores Nature Preserve is one of the most unique parks in the city; created in 2007 with seven acres of walking paths. The park is located on an island that extends into the Cherry Grove Marsh. This land is preserved in its native state and is accessible via a series of elevated boardwalks and observation docks. Interpretive signage throughout the park describes the plants, animals, fishes and birds that can be seen in the park.
