The Six Springs Wetlands are a natural wetland ecosystem discovered during the park's expansion project. It's notable for its multiple underground springs that feed the area's waterways, including Lake Clara Meer and Clear Creek. This boardwalk trail runs through the wetlands and is a fantastic place to see the diverse plants and wildlife that inhabit the area.

This area, known as Six Spring Wetlands, was uncovered during the park expansion. The spring and wetlands ecosystem had been hidden under invasive species growth for many years. Now that six water sources have been identified, the important of this natural area for wildlife and ecosystem health is evident. This unique natural habitat in the midst of an urban environment provides refuge for all visitors, wildlife and human alike. Six Springs Wetlands is a naturally occurring wetland formed when rain and continual flow of groundwater (or spring) rises to the surface.
