CLOSURE NOTICE DUE TO COVID-19:
The following locations are closed to the public until further notice: Wolf Creek Environmental Center (grounds are open Tuesday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Susan Hambley Nature Center, and park district headquarters.

The health and safety of visitors is Medina County Park District’s number-one priority. To help avoid the spread of the COVID-19 virus, we ask park visitors to:

Stay home if you feel ill.
Keep a six-foot distance between yourself and others.
Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough.

Visitors utilizing the park district’s open-air shelters must adhere to public health orders issued by Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Health that limit gatherings to fewer than 10 people. Park district rangers will enforce these orders and require larger groups to disperse.

Parks and nature preserves are open daily from 6 a.m. to one hour past sunset. The exception is Wolf Creek Environmental Center/Alderfer-Oenslager Wildlife Sanctuary grounds which are open Tuesday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and are subject to holiday hours when applicable. Chippewa Lake and the public boat launch ramp are both open 24-hours per day.
