“There’s so much to do in your MetroParks, especially during the warm-weather seasons, and we view Passport to MetroParks as our official summer kick off,” said RiverScape program coordinator Rachel Baney. “Anything you want to learn more about or try this summer, from camping to gardening, a MetroParks expert can help you get started at the event”
