Tasting like a cross between a banana and a mango, pawpaw ripen in late summer and bring a tropical feel to our parks! Come learn about the history, biology, and importance of these awesome understory trees and follow it up with a short hike to find the patches that are scattered throughout our park. Meet at education pavilion, we will then travel together to Hocker Park.
