Sugarcreek MetroParks offers diverse habitats that can be discovered as visitors hike, horseback ride, run the trails, exercise your pets or enjoy a leisurely picnic. Your participation in a Service Saturday volunteer service project allows MetroParks to continue its mission to protect the region's natural heritage and provide outdoor experiences that inspire a personal connection with nature.
