The Nature Playscape in the Pella area is a natural place to play! This area provides nature hiking trails, natural materials to play and build with, and premade wood items to play with too!
There was a short nature trail loop that was perfect for exploring and we saw all types of birds!
Fossil displays at the end of our nature hike loop.
Right near the nature playground is a public beach for swimming. It was not officially open when we visited, but the kids loved to splash and play in the sand.
The beach area provided bathrooms and drinking fountains.
Paella is one of the nicest quaint place to visit. I’ve been there several times. The people are wonderful.
