I’m so thankful every day for the existence of the Metroparks. It’s so wonderful to have a haven for walking trails and enjoying all of the flora and fauna around this area. It has truly been essential for my mental health, and there is always something delightful that happens every single time I go to a park, whether it’s a moment where a bird and I notice each other, or some perfect landscape that inspires or “sparks joy” in me. The Trail Challenge is such a brilliant way to get us to visit parks further away from our home area, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each and every park. -Amy
