Who's ready to get outside? 

Who's ready to explore one of our Valley's most amazing places - Mill Creek MetroParks?

The park has something really fun in store this summer/fall - 

a Family Nature Challenge!

This is a new program for the MetroParks and it runs April 1 to October 31. The goal is to get families out in the park, enjoying quality time together while exploring nature and discovering all Mill Creek MetroParks has to offer! The challenge includes the choice of 3 park events, 3 hikes, and 4 family-friendly programs. Participants will keep track using a form that can be picked up at Fellows Riverside Gardens. Once families complete all the challenges they can then turn in their forms by November 1st, also at Fellows Riverside Gardens, to earn a challenge reward.  Get the forms and information on the challenge here.
