F.A. Seiberling Nature Realm is a special-use area within Sand Run Metro Park that has been set aside for the study and enjoyment of nature. The Nature Realm was named in honor of Frank A. Seiberling, who owned this property from 1920 until 1948. The land was purchased by Metro Parks in 1964, and the Nature Realm opened in 1966.
Mr. Seiberling was founder of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and an early member of the park district's Board of Park Commissioners. He donated more than 500 acres to Metro Parks to help establish Sand Run Metro Park.
