Overview: Discovery Park, which is part of Eastern Arizona College, is a multi-purpose educational facility containing two levels. The top level located on top of a mesa houses several buildings including EAC classrooms, science & technology buildings, Gov Aker Observatory, a small astronomy exhibit and a short nature trail. The lower level east below the mesa is know as "Nature's Hideaway" and is an award winning restored wetland. Several miles of hiking trails takes you through the riparian habitat that includes seasonal ponds, a permanent pond, fish watching window, wildlife viewing blinds, a frog ranarium and the Circle D Ranch.
