The parking lot area includes a rain
garden. The community building will house
an interpretative center featuring natural, historical and cultural
aspects of the park.
The picnic pavilion will be available for local company picnics, school
class and family reunions and
other groups wanting to gather for different occasions. It will also
double as an outdoor classroom
for study and observation of the park.
Take Business 63 (Porter Wagoner Blvd) north, turn right on Girdley
St (between Toyota and Morlan Shell Ford, near City Hall), continue
under the railroad bridge and turn left at the top of the hill on
CR 1770. The park is about one half mile on the left.
The funding source for the development of Galloway Creek Nature Park is
the U.S. Department of Interior, National Park Service, Land and Water
Conservation Fund (LWCF). The LWCF program in Missouri is administered
by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Division of Parks and
Historic Preservation.
