Testimonials

  • “We had the BEST time at Wunderlich Park today! Thank you so much for every special little and big thing you did to reach out to our students and help them feel like a History Whiz or a Horse Whisperer! The kids will be talking about this for days and I will encourage our families to visit the Park to hike the trails and enjoy the facilities. Such a wonderful treasure so close at hand!”
