Calling All Nature Lovers
Through dozens of pristine parks, protected nature reserves and unspoiled wetland habitats, Huntington Beach 
demonstrates its commitment to preserving the environments of birds, wildlife and native vegetation.
Visitors can spot endangered birds, mammals, reptiles and indigenous plants at environmentally- managed areas such as the Bolsa Chica State Ecological Reserve, and undeveloped parks such as Bartlett Park.
Lake Huntington and the Shipley Nature Center in HB Central Park not only serve as unaltered habitats for hundreds of species of flora and fauna, but are also perfect off-the-beach sites to take a break from everyday life.
Birdwatch. Paddle-boat around the lake. Take a walk down a secluded nature trail. Spend some time volunteering at the park’s garden. Escape the hustle-and-bustle of busy schedules. Sit-back, relax and enjoy the peace and quiet that HB’s parks and preserves offer.
