The Bill Jarvis Migratory Bird Sanctuary is a peaceful haven for over 150 different species of birds. The sanctuary was saved from demolition in the 1960s, and it was restored and maintained by volunteers led by the passionate bird-watcher Bill Jarvis. While the sanctuary's core is protected by a fence, you can enjoy the shade of mature trees and the vibrant colors of native flowers along a path that circles the barrier, making it an excellent spot for a peaceful jog or stroll. There is a bird viewing platform on the east side of the sanctuary, which is a popular spot to observe these migratory birds during their nesting season in the summer.
