Directions To Garvin Brown Preserve
To access Garvin Brown Preserve, take River Road to Bass Road and continue on Bass Road until you come to entrances to two parking lots. Park in the paved parking lot on your right – near Hays Kennedy Park’s soccer field (and away from the pavilion). At the far end of the parking lot, follow the path that crosses Hays Kennedy land for about 800 feet until you come to the small gate at the entrance of the Preserve.
Garvin Brown Preserve Master Plan
Garvin Brown is a publicly-accessible wonderland with so many incredible features for just 45 acres – wetlands, woods, wild ower meadows and unfettered river views – but we think it can be even better! We commissioned landscape architect Kristin Booker at Booker Design Collaborative to develop a master plan for the preserve with features like viewing platforms and a seating pavilion. Check out the design documents here! The estimated cost for the full plan is about $1.4 million, which we hope to raise from private donors through a capital campaign.
