Ernie Miller Park is JCPRD's 116-acre nature park consisting of a diverse range of habitats including tallgrass prairies, upland meadows, bottom land forest and a beautiful stream to explore.
The park also features an outdoor amphitheater with seating for 80 persons, picnic shelter, nature center and three miles of nature trails.
Our interpretive programs provide environmental and historical awareness and “hands on” educational experiences for students (for both school and home school) from kindergarten through sixth grade. With experience and educational backgrounds in the areas of natural resource management, fisheries and wildlife, biology, ecology, anthropology, outdoor recreation and education, the programs are taught by our very own JCPRD Park Police and Naturalists.
