Graunke Park is a beautiful, preserved natural area of mixed-wood aspen, balsam poplar, and white spruce in Weinlos. It’s located at the southeast corner of 50 Street and 34 Avenue, and is a haven for urban wildlife and a diverse understory of plant life.
Every second Saturday from April to October, come out and enjoy nature in our Weinlos neighborhood table-land forest Park and Natural Area. Learn about the natural and human histories of the park. See some wildlife and new growth. Help clean up and renew trails & mulch
What you Might see or hear
Graunke Park & Natural Area is an excellent and rare remnant of urban tableland forest exhibiting a diverse subset of vegetation species.
Many urban-adapted species of birds and small mammals inhabit the site, use it for foraging, or as a stepping-stone to other refuge.
There are also many snag trees, fallen trees, and nurse logs within the stand that provide habitat and foraging opportunities for cavity-nesting species, pollinators, mosses and fungi while replenishing the soil.
