In addition, the park includes nature trails, wildlife exhibits, an elevated boardwalk and planetarium. Spring Farm Day is co-hosted by the Alabama Cooperative Extension System and CenturyTel and is sponsored by the Houston County Farmers Federation, WTVY, WDJR, WOOF-FM, SunSouth and Perry's Music.
