Come to admire a hidden gem in the heart of the city

Hundred Acre Hollows is a sanctuary—a place where time slows and nature speaks in birdsong and breeze.
In our fast-paced world, green spaces are not just beautiful—they are essential. Sunset in the Hollows was created to offer our community a chance to slow down and reconnect with nature, right where we live.
Every Sunday, we open the gates two hours before sunset—just as golden light begins to stretch across the land. Exact times vary with the seasons, so please check our calendar or Facebook page for monthly updates.
