The Croydon Creek Nature Center is dedicated to promoting and enhancing the knowledge, understanding, appreciation and protection of natural resources through quality interpretive programs and exhibits.

The nature center is just a short distance from the vibrant downtown Rockville. The center is nestled on 120 acres of beautifully preserved forest, open meadow areas and a winding creek bustling with a variety of wildlife.

Croydon Creek Nature Center presents a world of discovery through interpretive exhibits, informative programs and the uninhibited surroundings. The nature center is surrounded by miles of marked and unmarked trails that meander through the forested park and along Croydon Creek.

Garlic Mustard Prints by area artist, Patterson Clark, are available for sale at our gift shop. Proceeds will benefit CCNC and the Stone and Holt Weeks Foundation.
