Summer in Concord is a wonderful time for residents and visitors to play. Paddling and swimming on our rivers, ponds, and lakes, along with walking or biking the area trails are just a few of our inviting activities. Summer also brings the sights and sounds of our natural world, such as the animal life and colorful flowers.
The twisted osprey is as curious as we are.

Hummingbirds are a delight to see and hear. The bright colors they are drawn to add an extra dimension.
