Ongoing Programs

RANGER SAFETY PROGRAM FOR KIDS

There are many ways kids can stay safe in the Metro Parks, like staying on trails and always hiking with a friend. Students (grades 2-5) can learn more about being safe outdoors with an in-school visit by a uniformed Metro Parks ranger. Topics include summer and winter safety techniques, and students receive Junior Ranger badges and other materials. To schedule a visit, call 330-865-8052.

Did You Know?

Fish Crossing
Bridges are great places to watch fish. You can see playful darters and shiny minnows from most pedestrian bridges in the Metro Parks.

Slippery Sticks
Slippery elm trees are named for their inner bark, which is moist and slippery. American Indians used the bark to reduce swelling and take the venom out of a bite or sting. It is still used today to make throat lozenges.
