METRO PARKS – It’s Your Nature

Metro Parks attract 11 million people per year and offer exceptional settings for the renewal of the human spirit that is guaranteed to satisfy your inner explorer. Visitors can enjoy free, fun-filled interaction with the natural world 365 days a year.
Each year, Metro Parks offer more than 3,500 free outdoor recreation and nature study programs for people of all ages and abilities.
Established in 1945, under authority of Chapter 1545 of the Ohio Revised Code, Metro Parks has grown steadily. From woodlands to wetlands, prairies and streams, the park system manages more than 27,700 acres—operating 19 natural area parks and providing more than 230 miles of trails.
The Mission of Metro Parks is to conserve open spaces, while providing places and opportunities that encour-age people to discover and experience nature. Funding for Metro Parks comes from Franklin County property tax, local government funds, earned income, grants and partnerships.
