Special Events

Thank you to everyone who came out to the first weekend of our native plant sale so eager to add these beneficial beauties to their landscapes. Our plants were nearly sold out in just a few hours on the first day! We appreciate your enthusiasm and support of biodiversity.

The few remaining plants from the weekend will be at the nature center Tuesday through Friday this week if you want to drop in to see what is left. But, to give our grower a chance to catch up, we will not be holding the June 10 and 11 sale. We will be back on schedule though for the June 17 and 18 sale with more awesome native plants!

Watch for a species list to be posted during the week and, as a reminder, you can reach out to our grower directly with questions at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Chippewa Yacht Club, in partnership with Medina County Park District, is pleased to present this comprehensive boating safety course to kids aged 12-15 years old. Students will have the opportunity to obtain their Ohio Boating Education Course licenses, will learn how to operate different types of watercraft including sailboats, paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, SUPs, and motorboats; and participate in water-based activities that provide the opportunity to develop lifelong skills. Based on a “learn by doing” program, students develop self-esteem, exercise teamwork, safe seamanship, boating, and water safety practices and also demonstrate responsibility. Life jackets are included with registrations.

Get outside and fish at your Medina County parks this spring from March 20 through June 20. This self-guided program is the perfect way to spend time with family and friends and can be completed at your convenience.
