Programs and Events
Quality programs run year round at Harrison Hills Park and utilize the talents of our volunteers, Park naturalists and Park rangers. Most programs are free or ask for a small donation. We usually plan for at least one feature program or event every month, but some months have several programs. Click on the links below to register to attend upcoming events.
