Embark on a journey through Switchyard Park, where history meets sustainable transformation. Our self-guided tour invites you to explore the eco-friendly innovations and initiatives that have revitalized this former railroad hub into a thriving green space. The park is a culmination of decades of planning, as both city leaders and residents saw the potential of an abandoned railroad switchyard to become a destination park for people of all ages and abilities. As you wander through the park, discover the remarkable efforts undertaken to harmonize human activities with the natural environment.
