The center is {{convert|26|acre|km2}} and focuses on educational outreach and outdoor activities in an urban setting.[1][2] As of 2014, the OAC contains approximately two miles of trails, a ropes course, a nature-themed playground, a tree house classroom, a 650-gallon freshwater aquarium, and a multi-purpose building.[1] When the center opened in 1975 it was Atlanta's "first and only environmental education and outdoor recreation facility." Atlanta Public Schools leased {{convert|8|acres|km2}} to the OAC for $1 a year, and the Natural Science for Youth Foundation helped fund, organize and staff the original center. The Atlanta Bureau of Parks and Recreation later purchased the property from the school system and assumed maintenance of the parkland.[2] In 2007, the National Wildlife Federation referred to the OAC as "an ecological jewel."[3] The center is located beside the former practice lot for the Atlanta Black Crackers.[1] See also
