Winter in the Park is the Audubon Center at Debs Park's winter festival where we celebrate the ways in which California native plants and wildlife experience winter! 

Take a moment to look for birds along our Butterfly Loop trail with rental binoculars, make your own festive badges with your art, or create a wreath from California native plants. Come learn about mountain lions with NPS, thread together macrame flower keychains modeled after California native flowers, or make a feathered bookmark, all while learning about wintry bird plumage.

With a plethora of nature-themed hands-on activities, winter crafts, StoryWalks, nature walks, and more, there is surely something for everyone!

PLEASE NOTE: Please leave your furry friends at home!
