The 90-acre Adams County Government Center and Natural Park is designed to engage, educate and evoke a direct emotional connection to the natural environment and the County’s strong historical foundations. While the Government Center welcomes visitors to the natural surroundings, the gem of the center is the Natural Park that buffers it from nearby major highways while encouraging exploration of the natural setting. This portion of the site was historically utilized as irrigation storage ponds for adjacent farms. In a new sustainable use, the ponds have been rehabilitated and preserved into a series of wetland cells that cascade down and around the site. A regional pedestrian and bike trail winds its way around the wetland cells, connecting users with the native landscape and diverse wildlife species that call this area home.
