Reservation Plan Updates

Reservation Plan Updates

Cleveland Metroparks diligently manages over 25,000 acres of forests, streams, and meadows, 300 miles of trails, and 600 structures. Each year, an employee team studies several reservations and recommends future actions for each park. 

This year, the planning team is focused on Brookside, Garfield Park, Ohio & Erie Canal, Washington Park, and West Creek Reservations.
