The road leading to one of Mill Creek Park’s most popular spring attractions is now open to two-way traffic.
Signs went up on Wednesday along East Newport Drive allowing for a north and south flow of vehicles.
It will allow for easier access to Daffodil Meadow since a section of East Newport Drive north of the meadow is closed because part of the road collapsed.
The road will remain a two-way until the problem area is fixed.
MetroParks police want to remind park visitors to continue abiding by directional signage and barricades for the remainder of the project.

Mill Creek MetroParks understands the impact the East Newport Drive closure has brought to the public and with that accommodations have been made in providing a temporary change in traffic patterns to permit vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists the opportunity to experience Daffodil Meadow this spring. All park users will be permitted to travel to Daffodil Meadow and slightly beyond, at which point they will be instructed to turn around.
By order of MetroParks Police, it is imperative for park visitors to continue to abide by the directional and regulatory signage, as well as the barricades which prevent access to the roadway slide/future project site to ensure visitor safety during the closure and duration of the project.

For decades people have enjoyed activities and events at Millcreek Metro Parks, but because of the pandemic much of the park was shut down due to governors orders. As spring arrives WFMJ news checks out whether extra activities will be allowed this year.
People in the region have missed an entire year of events, such as the yearly spring animal baby shower, educational camps, Halloween walks, and Mother’s Day brunch at Riverside Gardens.
But with vaccine distribution well underway and as spread of COVID-10 continues to drop in Ohio, there are hopes rentals of pavilions for receptions, reunions, and events will begin again.
The Executive Director of Millcreek Metro Parks told WFMJ news the governor’s orders extend closures until April 12th.
“We are looking to take reservations for dates that are after April 12th, with the same caveats we’ve been operating under for the past year, which is those availabilities are subject to change pending orders from the governor, Ohio Department of Health, and so on,” said Aaron Young, Executivve Director of Millcreek Metro Parks.
Mass gatherings are still banned, but events with limited capacity can take place where people can be seated, social distance and wear masks. That leaves doubts the splash pad will open later this summer, or the paddle boats.
Millcreek Metro Parks is planning in case they get a green light to provide park led programs and activities again.
Until more is known people are encouraged to enjoy the lakes, Lanterman’s Mill, the hiking and biking trails.
Young added, “We have over 47 miles of trails for people to enjoy and over 5,000 acres of property that the majority has access to, so there are plenty of outdoor adventure opportunities for people and visitors to enjoy. We hope they partake in them.”
Plus in the upcoming month you can enjoy Daffodils in bloom, or in the middle of May to early June you can take time to smell some roses at Millcreek Metro Parks Riverside Gardens.
