Nature Play
Recent studies show that children are smarter, cooperative, happier and healthier when they have frequent and varied opportunities for free and unstructured play outdoors. Come to your local MetroPark this weekend and give nature play a test drive. It’s as simple as sharing your reactions to the sliminess of a salamander, the perfection of a tiny blossom or the unexpected rainbow in a mud puddle.


Discover a part of the park you haven’t been to before
Turn left when you normally turn right on the path and see where it takes you. Our 25 parks have lots of hidden treasures worth exploring, like the 550-year old Oak trees at Sugarcreek MetroPark or the historic remnants of Bustling town within Taylorsville MetroPark. See what adventure you’ve been missing.
