MetroParks Public Input Wanted: Parks Master Plan at Sugarcreek MetroPark

Five Rivers MetroParks is developing a comprehensive master plan to guide its operations, vision and strategy for the next ten years. Community voices are key in shaping the plan. Your voice matters!

The Protect + Connect Plan is a long-range visioning and system-wide planning effort to guide how MetroParks takes care of its open spaces and parks, programs, and operations over the next decade.

Since the last plan, MetroParks has helped define Dayton as the “Outdoor Adventure Capital of the Midwest” through iconic projects like the expansion of the trail network, investments in beloved places like RiverScape MetroPark, and new paddle sports opportunities. These efforts reflect the growing potential for an interconnected system of parks and green spaces that help to protect the environment and bring people together in healthy, active communities.

This plan is a chance to celebrate everything MetroParks’ has done so far while planning for what’s next. With support from the community—including a vote on the one-mill levy—MetroParks hopes to grow and improve so it can continue to protect nature, connect people to the outdoors, and offer great experiences for everyone.
