In 2024, McFarlane Nature Park registered over 100 specific events on their calendar in addition to daily, casual use. Reservations allow the Park to pursue compatible use of the facilities that are particularly in high demand during spring and fall. This spring will also see several events open to the public.
Painters are always welcome at McFarlane Nature Park, but it is more fun to paint with a group of interested artists. On April 26, artists from the Roswell Arts Alliance gathered at the Park for a Plein Air Painting Day. The 11.2 acre Park allows the painters to spread out and find the scene that peaks their interest. Paintings were also for sale.
On Saturday morning, May 24, David Long, from the Georgia Forestry Commission will present a talk on invasive species followed by hands-on removal of cherry laurels from the Park. Good shoes and gloves are recommended for those participating..
