An improved trail provides exercise and exploration in an oasis for suburban wildlife.
A partnership between Wickliffe City Schools and Lake Metroparks makes this park possible through a cooperative endeavor; the school district owns the property and for $1, the park district leases and manages it for ten years. The convenient location and quality of this natural area make it an ideal site for land lab studies and school field trips for students of all ages.
The park name comes from a former landowner and the 19-acre pond that was constructed sometime between 1947 and 1951.
