Mockingbird Nature Park is a 60-acre nature park showcasing a prairie and riparian environment. It was donated to the city of Midlothian by the Holcium Corporation. The city has partnered with the Indian Trail Master Naturalist for the development and maintenance of this park.
The park welcomes visitors with a butterfly garden and offers a hiking trail with beautiful views of native grasses. There are two seasonal creeks and a small man-made seasonal pond. Public restrooms, bluebird nest boxes, and a boardwalk are also found in the park.
ITMN volunteers maintain the wildflower and butterfly garden at the front entrance. In addition, volunteers assist in the maintenance of the whole park, such as removing invasive species, trail maintenance, trimming trees, and trash clean-up.
ITMN members lead wildflower walks on the 3rd Saturday of the month from March to June and September to October at 9am.
