The Nady Prairie Park is open for lovers of prairie, woodlands, and water. Located between Silver Lakes and Lakeview Estates, it is accessible via the parking lot at North B Street and Zimmerman Blvd. Prairie insects, birds (including quail and pheasant), and other critters are taking up residence. The 48 acres of Nady Prairie contain roughly 4,000 feet of mowed walking trails, replete with colorful educational signs, benches, and bicycle racks. The prairie trails were designed to intersect with the adjacent woodland and water trails, and it now connects to the Fairfield Loop Trail at three entry points.
