In support of the recommendations from the Governor’s Office, the Ohio Department of Public Health and the Center for Disease Control regarding the potential spread of the COVID-19 virus and to protect the health, safety and welfare of our employees, volunteers and visitors, Mill Creek MetroParks is extending the cancellations of all previously scheduled programs, golf clinics/programs, events, lectures and facility rentals through May 1, 2020. Several indoor/outdoor public facilities will remain closed through May 1, 2020. In the event a registration fee or rental fee was paid, a full refund will be processed.
The following Mill Creek MetroParks indoor/outdoor locations will be closed to the public:
Various Mill Creek MetroParks outdoor locations will remain open including Mill Creek Park, Fellows Riverside Gardens, MetroParks Bikeway, James L. Wick Recreation Area, Scholl Recreation Area, Yellow Creek Park, Walking Trails, Golf Cart Paths for walking, and All Nature Preserves.
The MetroParks urges visitors to follow all guidelines from state and local health officials, such as social distancing, not congregating in large groups, and practicing good hygiene, as well as suggesting non-use of items such as handrails, park benches, and other areas frequently touched to help flatten the curve and stop the spread of COVID-19.
Spending time outdoors is a great way to stay active and healthy during the COVID19 pandemic. Reconnecting with nature can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Although many Mill Creek MetroParks indoor facilities, outdoor playgrounds, and programs have been closed and cancelled, Mill Creek Park remains open for visitors to get outside and explore. Mill Creek MetroParks officials want to remind park users of the importance in following all guidelines from state and local health officials, such as social distancing and practicing good hygiene to help flatten the curve and stop the spread of COVID-19.
