The Marsh Memorial Sanctuary

The Marsh Sanctuary is a 156-acre nature preserve, open to the public daily from dawn to dusk. Several hiking trails are maintained on the property and connect to trails in Leonard Park and other local preserves.

Three parking areas provide access to the trail system and the gardens / amphitheater at Brookside.

The Marsh Sanctuary is partnering with InterGenerate to create a community garden on the Sanctuary property. The garden will be the focus of our common objectives; teaching people how to enjoy the outdoor environment, live sustainably, and improve how we do those things by sharing our experiences and knowledge. To coincide with the community garden, InterGenerate and Marsh are planning to renovate the stable & attached house for a demonstration kitchen, nature center, library, and meeting rooms. Check out Intergenerate's homepage and and click on "News" for more info and developments. We can't wait!
