It is with deep sadness that the MetroParks announces the passing of Lanterman’s Mill Manager, Greg O’ Neal. On Friday, May 12, 2023, Greg suffered a severe cardiac event while working and was transported to a local hospital where he later passed. Greg was a dedicated employee serving as the Lanterman’s Mill Manager for nearly 11 years. Greg will long be remembered as a fixture of Lanterman’s Mill where his dedication and passion for the MetroParks will be greatly missed by his colleagues and visitors alike.

Mill Creek MetroParks would like to thank first responders, MetroParks Police, and visitors for their quick response and efforts in providing their medical assistance.

Lanterman’s Mill will reopen to the public on Wednesday, May 17, 2023, during normal business hours of 10:00 am – 5:00 pm.
