Wilson Park Trains and Tree House and Madrona Marsh Wetlands

The Madrona Marsh Nature Preserve is a unique look at how the area was before Torrance was developed. It is also one of the few wetlands located in a major city. The marsh has a wet season in spring and a dry season in the fall. (The video was shot during the wet season.)
