Administration
From the Director:
Autumn is nearly here! 'Tis the season of football, pumpkins, hot apple cider and festivals! The Metro Parks and Recreation Department makes it easy for you and your family to enjoy the season's delights with lots of activities in your Metro Parks. Visit your favorite park and/or community center to discover new and better ways of getting fit, exercise your creativity, play a new sport, make a splash at one of several indoor pools, explore our scenic trails and greenways or enjoy a pleasurable round of golf at one of our seven Metro Parks golf courses!
The Metro Parks offers a broad variety of programs and services for all ages, interests and abilities. We encourage you to experience all that Metro Parks has to offer this fall. You'll soon find that there is much more to live, learn and explore in your Metro Parks!
