We'll begin at Shipley's Nature Center. Shipley Nature Center is an oasis nestled in the heart of Huntington Beach’s urban community. Come discover the wonders of this oasis containing southern California’s natural, coastal-chaparral native plant community throughout meandering trails around a fresh-water pond.

Next, we'll walk a short distance through the park to the Urban Forest, located in Central Park. The Urban Forest is a community passive park featuring California native plants and trees, and low water flora. Seasonal changes reflected in the vegetation, and the migratory birds and butterflies, add to the enjoyment of visiting this beautiful and unique park.

Moving forward, if time permits, we can walk or drive across the street to HB Central Park, near the City Library. Huntington Central Park is a 356-acres.
