Where Nature
Meets Community

Public spaces like Overton Park are essential for bringing people together. With its 126-acre Old Forest State Natural Area, Overton Park offers a rare opportunity for city residents to experience the natural world—right in the middle of Midtown.

Through more than 100 community programs each year, Overton Park Conservancy works to:

• Foster environmental awareness
• Spark creativity inspired by nature
• Promote mental and physical wellness through outdoor connection

Whether you’re looking to take a peaceful walk, try something new, or give back to your community—there’s something here for you.
