Cooks Slough Nature Park

The nature park offers 3 water treatment ponds that provide excellent habitat for wintering and migrating waterfowl. Ducks, cormorants and herons can be found here regularly. A large overflow reservoir provides habitat for Green Kingfisher, Northern Rough-winged and Tree Swallows and Black-bellied Whistling Duck. The nature center is an excellent example of a city using its wastewater facility as a means to create, and then enhance, wildlife habitat.
