    With over 22,000 acres, Cleveland Metroparks needs
    all sorts of equipment to keep the Park District operating.
            



    Come see some of the equipment at the free
    Cleveland Metroparks �Touch-A-Truck� event on Sunday, August
    19 from noon to 4 p.m. at Strongsville Park Operations in Mill
    Stream Run Reservation in Strongsville.



    With over 30 pieces of equipment on-site, kids can
    enjoy climbing on and in, and learning why each piece of equipment
    is used.  Some of the departments that will have equipment on
    display include: park operations, specialty crews, golf, natural
    resources, park rangers, and outdoor education.



    Kids can also enjoy playing in a huge sandbox with over two tons
    of sand brought in from the golf division. 



    And, bring empty aluminium cans for a Steam Roller
    Demonstration! The cans will be rolled �flat as a pancake� at 1, 2
    and 3 p.m. and donated to Cleveland Metroparks recycling
    program.



    Cleveland Metroparks ECO-Team will discuss recycling practices
    and tips on how to make changes in everyday life through
    recycling.



    Bring a camera for many great opportunities.



    EarthWords Nature Shop will also be selling merchandise, and
    refreshments will be available for sale. 



    Haywagons and shuttle buses will be available to and from the
    parking areas.
