Membership
Growing Stronger Together
A Metroparks membership or donation provides the vehicle to take our commitment even further. By joining or donating, individuals and organizations are making a cause-driven statement to support Metroparks vision to ultimately become one of America’s greatest park systems. They realize the benefits that this vision brings to our community, to the environment, and to future generations.
With over 12,000 acres of preserved land and 172 miles of trails to explore, your Metroparks are some of the most stunning outdoor experiences in North America. Working together, we are making powerful progress toward providing clean, safe and natural parks within 5 miles of every resident in Lucas County.
Thanks to the generosity of members and other loyal friends we continue to help expand the Metroparks preservation and educational activities. Each membership helps support important Metroparks initiatives that might not otherwise be possible, like Metroparks Connections Camp that bring over 500 children from disadvantaged communities to nature camp—completely free of charge.

Good Natured
Metroparks Toledo believes everyone deserves to benefit from the outdoors. In that spirit, we have created a membership group for women – and allies of women – to empower women through the outdoors. Participants will engage in the Metroparks Mission, specifically to conserve and preserve our region’s most precious natural resources by connecting everyone to those resources, as well as with each other.
Funds raised through Good Natured will assist Metroparks programming to create life-changing memories and connections to the parks. The goal is to break down barriers that have prevented historically underserved individuals, groups and communities from experiencing, engaging with and benefiting from our area’s natural resources. This outreach is focused on introducing these communities to new and fun ways to experience the outdoors.
