    Did you know Cleveland Metroparks Ranger Department is a full-fledged police force with a vehicle fleet, mounted police, K-9 Unit, Dive Team and Detective Bureau? Families can get a hands-on look at law enforcement's role in protecting, serving and educating park visitors and meet the Rangers at the free Ranger Community Day on Saturday, August 23 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Edgewater Park in Lakefront Reservation.

There will be hands-on activities for everyone to learn from, play with, touch and see.
