Friends of Metro Parks

Friends of Metro Parks is a non-profit organization with a mission to enhance public use and enjoyment of our parks, seek out public support and advocate for our parks for current and future generations. We LOVE our Metro Parks… and we work to make sure these beautiful, natural spaces are LOVED and enjoyed for generations to come.

  • Fund projects at various parks through the Tad Jeffrey Memorial Fund
  • Hosting Yappy Hour for park goers and their canine companions
  • Sneak Peeks of our new parks and exhibits
  • Introduce new people to our parks through fun, interactive events
  • Creating ways for the community to appreciate and be an advocate for Metro Parks
  • SciotoFest
