Sunken GardensThis natural oxbow in the basin of Antelope Creek was used in the early 1900’s as a neighborhood dumping site. The garden, built in 1930, was renovated in 2005 to include modern amenities including a new pavilion, art work and accessible walks. Brilliant flowering annuals, tropicals, perennials, specimen trees, shrubs and two living ponds filled with koi fish and water lilies are on display seasonally.
