Environmental Education Center
City of Plano

This outdoor classroom area is designed to engage children in exploring and interacting with the natural world as part of their daily life, helping to develop a lifelong sense of wonder.

Our certified Nature Explore Classroom is a dynamic, nature-based play and learning space for family enjoyment. Children can enjoy digging in the dirt, creating music, climbing and more! Located adjacent to a creek on the Environmental Education Center grounds, the Nature Explore Trail is an
educational pathway that uses interactive signage to teach visitors about Plano’s creeks, their inhabitants and ways that residents of all ages can care for them.
