The Brooks Nature Area is Marshall, Michigan's newest and largest park encompassing nearly 200 acres of diverse natural habitat.  The nature area was originally part of a farmstead and was purchased to create a light industrial park.  Demonstrating the vision that has helped this community thrive, the city designated the area surrounding the Upper and Lower Brace Lake as a city Park.

The Brooks Nature Area is the largest park in Marshall and includes native grasses, stands of hardwood trees and wetlands.  The wildlife in the park thrives as 88 acres have been restored as a native prairie faithfully including the grasses and wildflowers that were present on Michigan prairies in the past.

Just a short drive from the Terrific Town of Marshall is the Brooks Nature Area.
