Summer Activities
With gas prices soaring, everyone’s looking for something close to home that is affordable, fun, safe, and (if possible) FREE! There’s always something to do in our parks for free. You can bike, hike, fish, picnic, swim, and play volleyball. There will be plenty of free programs, events and activities to participate in this summer throughout Lake Metroparks!
Ah, long holiday weekends—load up the car, the kids, the dog, the toys, the bikes, the food and head
for the park. What could be better than enjoying the sunshine and a well deserved break from work
and school? While summer is normally a time for leisure and vacationing, it shouldn’t mean letting
your guard down when it comes to various summer dangers.
