The site has an outdoor amphitheater, musical fences, renovated caboose, train station, nature trail and an arts center. Phase I Grants from The Nordson Corporation Foundation, the Community Foundation of Greater Lorain County, The Stocker Foundation, and The St. Ann Foundation spurred the development of this phase. The train station that is located in the same area serves as a place for young children to have a dramatic play experience with a railroad theme. The nature trail is complete with a Native American Three Sisters Garden, hummingbird garden, butterfly garden, herb garden, woodland and pine area.
Children use the small farmhouse to store their tools and set up a vegetable stand.
The Audubon Society of Lorain County has place Bluebird houses and feeders throughout the property. Phase II Grants from the Nordson Corporation Foundation, The Stocker Foundation Challenge Grant, The Richard Hallock Foundation and private donors provided the funds for the outdoor Arts Center that consists of three small studios a Potters' Shed, a Weaver's Loom Shop, and an Artists Workshop. Trellises at the sides and over the patios provide a framework for vines and flowers, which forms a background of natural beauty for the children's creative exploration. The center has three smaller fenced in sand yards that classrooms have direct access. A grant from The Community Foundation of Greater Lorain County is making it possible for the renovation of this area with raised sandboxes, water tables, pavilions, and learning stations.
