Take a walk on the wild side...
Tonaquint Park is an oasis of nature in the heart of St. George. The ripple of Santa Clara Creek, the rustle of cattails and the screech of a
red-tailed hawk are experiences to discover at St. George's best kept secret. Located at 1851 South Dixie Drive, just west of South Gate Golf
Course, Tonaquint Nature Center offers outdoor education programs for all ages.
