Metro Parks
WINTER ACTIVITIES AT YOUR METRO PARKS
Winter can be a good season for wildlife watching, and birders particularly enjoy looking and listening for owls. So, wrap up warm and head out to a nearby Metro Park. Cross-country skiing, sledding, hiking and ice skating are the perfect way to enjoy nature's beauty in the parks.
