• Stay on walkways, nature trails and grass. Footsteps elsewhere crush plants and damage soil.

• No wading in fountains, ponds or streams.

BE RESPECTFUL
• Children must be accompanied by an adult
• Teachers and chaperones must stay with their group at all times
• Bicyclists allowed on Three-Mile Drive; no scooters, skateboards or in-line skates
• No pets except dogs assisting people with disabilities
• Respect others in your group and other visitors
• No vehicle parking on the grass
