    Jackson Field

    Parks | Visit | Parks | South Chagrin Reservation | Jackson Field
    An exceptional example of Chagrin River floodplain, Jackson Field is home to abundant plant and animal species that thrive in the rich, moist, field, wetlands, forest and the river, which is the backbone of it all. Located just North of Jackson Road on Chagrin River Road this area features beautiful fields and wildlife and is used by many fishermen for parking due to its convenient access to the Chagrin River.

    Over the past 20 years, the Chagrin River has shifted approximately 200’ to the north with the most significant erosion occurring within the Jackson Field project area. The shift has caused significant loss of land and required realignment of the bridle trail.
     
    In 2018, Cleveland Metroparks was awarded an Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, Section 319 (h) grant to restore the failing stream bank along the Chagrin River at Jackson Field with grant match provided by our Stormwater Management Reimbursement Fund in cooperation with the Northeast Ohio Sewer District. Chagrin River Watershed Partners, Inc. is contributing to the grant education and outreach deliverables.
     
    Restoration included the re-alignment of the Chagrin River to provide a connected floodplain and improve fish habitat.  Stabilization of the streambank with rock and bioengineering will create both a short- and long-term resilient floodplain and streambank. Plantings include woody materials and live willow cuttings sourced within the vicinity of Jackson Field.

    Cleveland Metroparks has installed a photo monitoring station focused on the stream and floodplain restoration.  The public can take photos by following instructions at the monitoring location. Photos will show a time lapse of the restoration process and can be viewed here: https://www.chronolog.io/site/CMP106
