Enjoy the outdoors in Pullman

If you are looking for a natural, beautiful, and scenic environment to spend some time outdoors, look no further. Klemgard Park, located off of Highway 195, meets this exact criteria. This park has four distinct habitats that make it diverse and beautiful. These include: mountains, grasslands, a forest and a swamp. Each habitat is home to several animals, and frequently, deer, moose, rabbits, hawks, and sparrows have been spotted within the park.

After taking a field trip to Klemgard Park for my Environmental Science class, I was in awe by the park’s beautiful scenery and wildlife. Up until a year ago, I had no idea that this magnificent park existed. Klemgard Park is set between two sets of hills: the north facing hills and the south facing hills. The hills to the north are dark, shady, cool and covered by forest while the south facing hills reflect sunlight. The atmosphere of Klemgard Park is relaxing, peaceful, and soothing. This park allows people to escape the combustion and crowds found in the city, and enjoy some fresh air and beautiful scenery.

Klemgard Park is ideal for hiking, walking, picnicking, barbequing, and sightseeing. Amenities that the park offers are: a volleyball court, a playground, horseshoe pits, a relaxing gazebo, convenient paths for strolling through the park, barbeques, and hiking trails. If your looking for some alone time, I recommend bringing a blanket and book and curling up at a picnic table. If your interested in spending time with friends, pack a lunch and bring a volleyball for a day of socializing at the park. Either way, this park is a great way to escape the city and spend some time outdoors. For more information visit Klemgard Park.
