METROPARKS

The Metroparks' budgeted expenditures are around $58 million each year. Our team includes nearly 200 full-time staff members and more than 500 part-time employees. The Metroparks are funded principally by a .2104 mill property tax levy and revenues from vehicle entry fees and user fees. A Metroparks pass (daily or annual) is required to enter any Metropark in a vehicle, though cyclists and pedestrians are admitted at no charge... Education is an important part of our mission. With three mobile learning centers and 10 full-service interpretive centers - focused on nature, history and farming - the Metroparks provide a wide variety of educational programs to the region's schools, community organizations, other groups and, of course, our visitors. Each year, we engage more than 1.5 million individuals with programs about the environment, science, nature, geography and regional history... Amenities found across the Metroparks include picnicking, fishing, swimming, boating, hiking, nature..
