Medina County Park District marks 60 years with new parks and events

The Medina County Park District is celebrating its 60th anniversary throughout 2025 with special events and the opening of new park areas. Established in 1965, the district manages nearly 9,000 acres and offers over 22 park sites and 50 miles of trails. New developments include the opening of Phase 1 of the Rivendell Nature Preserve in late summer, featuring trails and a fishing pond. Additionally, the new entrance to Lake Medina, Shotwell Gardens, will open in October, along with public access to Chippewa Lake Park. A new 104-acre preserve in Liverpool Township will also open in 2025, featuring a one-mile trail. The park district encourages the public to check their website and social media for updates on anniversary events and programs.
