It’s more than just a nature area.
It’s an opportunity to explore, grow and feel connected to our world. 

 

About LOLA:

LOLA is an outdoor environmental science classroom and nature area located behind the library. It encompasses a small riparian area that runs along McCommas Branch, a tributary leading to White Rock Lake. LOLA’s diverse ecosystems, including wetlands, bottomland forest, and prairie area, offer a unique learning environment.

  • Since 2001, LWE students have received hands-on science instruction in LOLA.
  • In 2022, we partnered with the Dallas Arboretum to create a custom, TEKS-aligned curriculum for each grade.

  • Education, maintenance, and other programming is graciously funded by the Lakewood PTA and LECPTA.

  • Improvements and new entrance to LOLA were provided by Dallas ISD.

  • Thank you to the North Texas Master Naturalist for their continued commitment to the upkeep and improvement of LOLA.
