This park was developed with the help of the Western Resources Green Team. It is actually part of the grounds associated with the Jeffrey Energy Center. If you take the Sea of Grass trail up to the top of the ridge, you will have a spectacular 360 degree panorama which includes the power plant and its principal cooling lake to the north. To the south, stretching from one horizon to the other, is the Kaw River valley, which marks the southerly edge of the great Pleistocene glaciers. This is a great spot to scan for red-tailed hawks, northern harriers and turkey vultures. The tallgrass prairie along this trail has an abundance of wildflowers. Look for rose verbena, New Jersey tea and green milkweed in May and Purple Coneflower in summer.
