About the Project
The Open Space Authority helped fund the Bill's Backyard: Bridge to Nature project, a 27,500-square foot outdoor nature education center adjacent to the existing Children's Discovery Museum. This innovative space inspires children and their families to spend time outside, exploring the wonders and joys of building, exploring, climbing, rolling, digging and getting dirty.
