Since the first weekend in February, park volunteers have been busy taking the sweet sap from the sugar maples of Northwest Park and making it into the sweet syrup that will be featured on pancakes. This full breakfast has become a rite of spring and a fitting conclusion to the busy activities at the sugar house.
After breakfast, visitors can enjoy a visit to the sugar house to see how syrup is made, visit the nature center, tobacco museum, and animal barn or take a leisurely walk on some of the park’s trails.
Tickets are $6.00 for adults, $4.00 for children under 12 and children 3 and under are free. The proceeds go toward projects at the park. For more information call Northwest Park at 285-1886.
