Betton Nature Center Trail

The Betton Hills Nature Center is the perfect place for any outdoor enthusiast. Whether you’re looking to enjoy leisurely or educational activities, the Betton Nature Center provides a variety of green spaces, park facilities and even an informative self-guided walking tour. The trails wind throughout the Betton Hills neighborhood and also function as a connection between the McCord and Winthrop Parks.
