McColl Pond Environmental Learning Center is located within Savage Community Park, a thriving hub for activities in the city. There may be other activities or events happening within the Savage Community Park during your reservation. We will do our best to ensure that these events will not interfere with your event. There is a designated parking area directly in front of the ELC for guests to park, with signage available for use to detour other park users. During the summer months we recommend renters ask their guests to park by the Savage Sports Dome. See the attached parking map for guests. 

Hourly Reservations Only: There may be other reservations in the classroom area. 

Wedding Package Only: There will not be anyone else using space at the McColl Pond ELC.
