The Falconer Heights Treestand is adjacent to a playground and is enjoyed by the surrounding community.
This hilly treestand is a unique natural feature, with depressions 5-6 meters deep and steep slopes, formed thousands of years ago by receding glaciers. The glaciers left behind large chunks of ice which eventually melted, leaving large depressions in the landscape.
