Summit Metro Parks Celebrates its First Century

Fri 12/31 @ 11AM

“On December 31, 1921, Summit County Common Pleas Probate Judge Lewis Slusser granted a petition for a new park district, and the Akron Metropolitan Park District was created,” Summit Metro Parks, that district’s current name, tells us.

They’ll be celebrating with a pair of drop-in events at two locations: Liberty Park Nature Center and Cascade Valley Metro Park in the Valley View area. At both locations you can stop in to learn about the history of the parks and some of the highlights of its first century. Call 330-865-8065 for more information.
