ORL AND PARK NATURE CENTER 13951 S. LAGRANGE ROAD The Village of Orland Park’s latest project is a new Nature Center to serve area residents! Located on LaGrange Road just north of the Metra tracks it includes a flexible outdoor gathering space with an amphitheater that will accommodate a variety of uses and group sizes, a new permeable paver parking lot and a looped trail system that meanders around the site. A boardwalk extends over the existing detention area to a bird watching station and wetland overlook. The wetlands on site serve not only as a focal point for the Nature Center, but also as a great opportunity for the preservation and restoration of an area known for its bird populations.
