Pella Crossing Park

Aliases: Marlatt Open Space

After sustaining heavy damage during the devastating floods of September 2013, Pella Crossing Park re-opened in Spring 2017. The fields to the east have attracted Dickcissel and Grasshopper Sparrow in some summers. Following the trails west to the trees is a good way to find spring migrants. A colony of Great Blue Herons nests in the trees just across the river to the west.
