Overlooking Oso Bay, this city-run nature reserve of 162 acres has 4 miles of trails to wander. The surrounding wetlands are a haven for birdlife, and volunteers at the visitor center can help identify species. The gate is open 7:30am to 7pm Monday to Saturday, but visitors that arrive outside of these times can use the walk-in entrances on Holly Rd.
