At the parking area underneath I-181 bridges, there is a colony of chimney swifts with over 80 nests, mostly under the west side of southbound span just as you enter the parking area. There also is a wetland between the park and the settling ponds to the east of there --- on the other side of the beach volleyball court. There were Red-winged Blackbirds and Lesser Yellowlegs (6) in that marshy area. Heritage Park is on Riverport Road between Ridgefields Road and Wilcox Drive. The entrance to the park is a single lane bridge that is directly across from Evergreen Garden Center.
