The Eco Island Nature Center belongs to the Grand Island School District. It is located on the west end of Staley Road. Formerly a NIKE Base, the Federal Government gave it to the Grand Island School District. The Town of Grand Island also received part of the NIKE Base. Their portion is located on Whitehaven Road where the Town Rec and the Senior Center are located.
