Text description provided by the architects. The Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park Nature Center is a 14,000 SF visitors’ center for Metro Parks’ largest park, the 7,000 acre Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park. The Nature Center serves as an educational and interpretive building for visitors to cultivate their knowledge of the park’s diverse ecosystems. At the heart of the building is a 53-foot long living stream, which reproduces the riparian habitats found within the park, and other interactive exhibits which encourage engagement by visitors with the natural world around them.
