Nature, walking trails and lots of deer
Martin Park Nature Center的点评
点评:Martin Park is a protected nature area along W. Memorial Road just west of Mercy Hospital. It is a country oasis in the middle of the city, the grounds consist of mature woodlands, grasslands and creek fed small lake.
The park is open from 5am to 6pm daily and includes 2.5 miles of connecting loop trails, a Visitor Centre which is open from 9am to 6pm (closed on Mondays). There is plenty of parking and no entry fee to enjoy the tranquil and peaceful environs of this surprisingly nice nature park.
I visited around 6.45am recently and walked several of the trails. Some of the trees were beginning to turn, the wind blowing through the tall grasses made the most incredible sound while I lost count of deer sightings on the morning. The deer seem rather comfortable with humans, allowing themselves to be in close proximity as I walked the various trails. That was neat to experience. There are several bird hides as well as a good size viewing deck on the lake for birdwatchers and a playground near the front car park for those with kiddos.
Overall, I was impressed with the Martin Nature Park. This was a great early morning walk and opportunity to spend time in nature before starting off my day in OKC. I would gladly return for another visit in the future.

公园的开放时间为每天早上 5 点至下午 6 点,包括 2.5 英里的连接环路步道和上午 9 点至下午 6 点开放的游客中心(周一关闭)。这里有充足的停车位,而且无需门票,可以享受这个令人惊奇的美丽自然公园的宁静祥和的环境。
我最近早上 6.45 左右参观过,走了几条小路。一些树开始转动,风吹过高高的草丛,发出最令人难以置信的声音,而我忘记了早上看到的鹿的数量。鹿似乎与人类相处得相当自在,当我走在不同的小径上时,鹿与人类的距离很近。体验真是太好了。湖上有几个鸟类栖息地,还有一个适合观鸟者的大型观景台,前面的停车场附近还有一个适合带孩子的游乐场。
总的来说,马丁自然公园给我留下了深刻的印象。这是一次很棒的清晨散步,也是在俄克拉荷马城开始新的一天之前在大自然中度过时光的机会。我很乐意在将来再次访问。
