The area of the city known as Denbigh boasts a park with a unique ecosystem. Denbigh Park is the only public area of Newport News with extensive salt marsh. It supports Clapper Rails, Brown-headed Nuthatches, and Boat-tailed Grackles, all of which can be challenging to find elsewhere in the city. There are also small rafts of ducks typically present in winter, and some migrant passerines in spring. Yellow-crowned Night-Herons and can be observed nesting here.
Accessibility: Denbigh Park is free and open to the public.
