Write 5 paragraph about five parks in Cleveland

Assignment: The Park Paper

A number of our field trips for the class this semester will be visiting the various reservations of the Cleveland Metropolitan Park District (Metroparks), the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Lake View Cemetery, certain City of Cleveland Parks and various other State of Ohio parks nearby. These parks offer a great variety of outdoor, natural history, and ecological opportunities for the Greater Cleveland area.

This first homework assignment involves doing some simple research into the Cleveland Metroparks’ reservation system and the other parks in our metropolitan area to get a feel for what they have to offer.

The following websites are a good start for your research, but I encourage you to dig deeper:

Find five (5) parks (your choice) and write one (1) paragraph on each of the parks that you choose; describing the amenities each reservation has to offer and something that makes the reservation unique (geological feature, landscape design feature, the history of or historic event that happened there, special architecture, statues, memorials, etc.).
