Tech at Cleveland Metroparks
In addition to financial and human resources systems, Cleveland Metroparks manages Points of Sale for the Zoo, Golf, Retail, and Food and Beverage operations. Cleveland Metroparks utilizes trail & thoroughfare monitoring technology, air quality sensors, water sensors, and much more. Digital exhibits at Westcreek, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, and the Nature Centers have both traditional and cutting edge interpretive technologies which include: holograms, Holo-Lens, 3-D printing/scanning, and other audio/visual resources. The GIS department is a leader in collection, analysis, and display of geographic data, geo-demographic analyses, 3D visualizations, local and regional ecological sensitivity analyses, and geographic data collection with drones.
