Veterans Memorial Park
The City dedicated this new park on Memorial Day, 2013.  It features a gazebo and permanent amphitheater-style seating and will be used for the annual Memorial Day and Veteran's Day ceremonies, as well as summer concerts and other recreational activities.

The City is still accepting donations from anyone interested in honoring or supporting veterans.  All revenues received will be used exclusively for the construction and maintenance of the facility and sponsors will be recognized on permanent markers at the facility.  If you are interested in donating to this worthy cause and help us further recognize the contributions of the veterans of our armed forces, please click here to download and print the donation form.

PARKS PROVIDED BY OTHER AGENCIES:

THE CLEVELAND METROPARKS
Since the 1920s, North Chagrin Reservation has been a special combination of outdoor recreation areas and wildlife sanctuaries. Located in Mayfield Village, Willoughby Hills, and Gates Mills, the reservation includes a nature center and nature education building, a number of trails and picnic areas. Sanctuary Marsh and Sunset Pond are both popular areas to observe waterfowl.

An interesting feature of the reservation is Squire's Castle. Built at the turn of the century by F.B. Squire, it was to serve as the gatehouse of his country estate, but plans for the remainder of the estate never materialized.

The reservation is also home to Manakiki Golf Course, located off SOM Center and Eddy roads in Willoughby Hills. See www.clevelandmetroparks.com/Main/Reservations-Partners/North-Chagrin-Reservation-11.aspx for details.

LAKE METROPARKS
1) Gully Brook Park is a 174-acre park and represents land obtained by the Lake Metroparks district over the past ten years.  It includes a 1.4 mile gravel trail, a picnic shelter on the bank of Gully Brook, a flush restroom, and a playground.  See www.lakemetroparks.com/select-park/gullybrook.shtml#home for details

2) Pleasant Valley Park covers nearly 80 acres of land along the Chagrin River and provides public access to 2,000 feet of fishable stream. Since the acquisition of this former commercial nursery at the end of 2007, Lake Metroparks has worked to restore it to a functioning floodplain corridor. Cottonwood and sycamore trees continue to reclaim the valley floor in the shadow of an 80-foot high bank on the Chagrin River.  
See www.lakemetroparks.com/select-park/pleasant-valley.shtml for details.

HACH-OTIS SANCTUARY
The sanctuary, located at the end of Skyline Drive, is an 81-acre forested tract overlooking the beautiful Chagrin State Scenic River valley.  It has been a protected as a bird sanctuary since 1944.
