Starfield Amphitheater
The Mountain Amphitheater is nestled among lush vines with a serene view of Starfield Lake. Contoured into the hill, grass tiers flow down to the amphitheater patio, which is surrounded by a patchwork of Japanese maples, gardenias, violets, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, and dogwoods. The cool air wafting from the Lake paired with the shade from towering Ponderosa pines temper the summer heat, making the Amphitheater the perfect spot to picnic. Relax and unwind, or stroll along the intersecting Nature Trails to explore the variety of native plants growing along these trails. *Please note, flowers and their blooming cycles are seasonal.
