Children Benefit from Being Outside

Studies show that children are healthier, happier, and smarter when they play outside. Phil Hardberger Park promotes children who play and learn outdoors with over 3,500 children participating each year in our nature programs.

Our children's programs appeal to a range of ages and interests, and make learning about nature a fun experience. We hope to see you at our next event!

Nature Programs

You can find the recorded events on the Starting Out Wild and Growing Up Wild pages.

Or, you can find some Do-at-home Nature Play Guides on the Nature Play page.

Phil Hardberger Park children’s events are constructed with help from our partner, Texas Children in Nature.
