    One of the best places in northeast ohio to go for a peaceful run in nature. No pets or bikes allowed, a great place to unwind and relax. Most of the trails are unpaved and are just grass, keep this in mind if considering visiting after a bout of heavy rain. An extremely serene and quiet place to de-stress

    We love going for walks here and the indoor facility is a great learning center for children. Our favorite part in winter is the glassed in wildlife observatory. It even has speakers so yo hear the birds and animals. Great park.

    This park is gorgeous in every season and I make sure to visit at least once each season! They have wetlands, grass plains and a beautiful pine forest! It is a very well kept park with a nature center!

    Mostly level terrain includes grasslands and wetlands to be able to walk around. Environmental Center is very informative staff is very helpful. Some of the trails are not well marked and there are a lot of trails that are not on the map. The gates of the park do close at 5 p.m. though and it's not open on Mondays. Saw a barred owl several Hawks Turtles squirrels and chipmunks. Dogs are not allowed.

    A great place to walk. Unlike most Medina county Park trails these are actually marked !!! Very enjoyable. Great volunteer staff.

    Nature center is phenomenal. So much information on everything environment related! Amazing bird observation room with great pictures to help learn an identity our feathered friends. The information outside for butterflies an native bees is wonderful along with the native plants to attract the pollinators. Loved the walk to the wetland an I look forward to spending more time my next visit to walk more of the trail. This is a must see. Such a beautiful place.

    I can't speak about the nature center as it was closed but the trail I walked on was very scenic. There's not an easy way to get to the trail over the marsh when the nature center is closed but I may have missed an entrance. I will go back. Only restroom is a Porta potty but it wasn't cleaned recently so I suggest going to the bathroom at the sheetz down the street or go when nature center is open.

    Nice place for a walk. Took the trail around the ponds. Short trail and easy to navigate.

    What a great place to hike or run! They have several trails with lots of variety. Generally it is flat, but they have ponds, a few forests and open fields. Most trails are mowed grass, which I prefer to run on. They offer programs, too. It's important to note that dogs are not allowed or picnicking, because it is a nature preserve. And the gates always lock at 5!

    Beautiful nature walks and facility!

  • 5/5 Yoni N. 3 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite nature places in Medina County because of the large amount of diverse trails to walk. Plus it's rarely crowded. Just wish it was open on Sundays!

    Wonderful center with kind naturalists. Beautiful place for a hike and loved the wetlands boardwalk. Great visit!

    Beautiful facility and preservation area. The trails are fun and easy to maneuver anytime of year. We go with our three toddlers and they love it. The learning center has a nice playroom, a lab with animals and crafts and a fun bird watching area. Highly recommend!
