Established in 1921, Summit Metro Parks has been “Your Back Yard for 100 Years.”
All year, the park system will commemorate this milestone occasion, beginning with the launch of a new centennial website and followed by several ways for the community to join in the celebration throughout 2021.
Visit www.summitmetroparks100.org to explore plans for the upcoming year and take a journey to the past with an interactive timeline of the park district’s history – complete with vintage photographs, audio recordings and video.
The centennial celebration pays tribute to four themes that have been the hallmarks of the park district’s first century: protecting natural resources, celebrating cultural heritage, connecting people to nature and honoring community support.
Check the park district website for in-person and virtual activities throughout the year.
