Pete's Pond Preserve

Alert: Beginning May 31, the north entrance to Pete's Pond Preserve will be closed through June due to construction at Wickliffe High School. Access to the park is still available at the south entrance. Signs are posted.

A partnership between Wickliffe City Schools and Lake Metroparks makes this park possible through a cooperative endeavor; the school district owns the property and for $1, the park district leases and manages it for ten years. The convenient location and quality of this natural area make it an ideal site for land lab studies and school field trips for students of all ages.

What's behind the name?

The park name comes from a former landowner and the 19-acre pond that was constructed sometime between 1947 and 1951.
