Find five (5) parks (located in Northeast Ohio, from the Lake Erie Islands east to Ashtabula) of your choice) and write 1-3 paragraphs on each of the parks that you choose; describing the amenities each reservation has to offer and something that makes the reservation unique (geological feature, landscape design feature, the history of or historic event that happened there, special architecture, statues, memorials, etc.). Reading up a little and digging deeper will offer you more interesting facts about each park rather than the short amount of information available on many of the park’s websites.
Also, include in each paragraph about each park exactly what type of park it is according to the National Recreation and Park Association as is noted in their Park, Recreation, Open Space and Greenway Guidelines.
The Guidelines can be fôund in the paper by Jared Robbins, An Analysis of Urban Greenspace in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The paper is attached to this assignment.
