Scissortail Park is a hub of activity for big concerts, family picnics, afternoon walks and playtime. This urban oasis is also home to some important pollinators that help keep the gardens blooming. Head to the south end of the park, by Union Station, to see if you can find some of these creatures buzzing around their special home ! (Fun facts about bees: they have five eyes, and a female bee produces about a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime.) While there, investigate closely and you might find some prehistoric treasures hiding in the sandstone of Union Station .
