Events at this location

The Nature Center houses several different animals, including the park’s two sulcata tortoises named Jack and Diane; Maize, a friendly corn snake; an iguana; a Cuban tree frog; aquatic turtles; and many other critters. The animals that live at Pecar Park’s nature center are there because of a partnership with A Critter’s Chance, a Plainfield-based animal rescue organization. Most of the critters you see at the nature center are available for adoption (with the exception of Jack and Diane).
