The Month Of August Usually Sizzles Then Fizzles
August is a month when many folks
Travel to distant places; but let’s take
A closer look at what Parma and
Surrounding areas have to offer:
Parma has 19 parks within its borders
And welcomes neighbors to share
And to enjoy them.
The city of Parma offers many sports
Activities–baseball, volley ball, soccer,
Ice skating, basketball, swimming and
Golfing, to name a few!
Parma also offers West Creek
Conservancy, another gem in the
Cleveland Metroparks Emerald
Necklace; West Creek has been referred
To as the “Pearl of Parma!”
And not far away, we have access to
Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
Ohio has a total of 3 national parks.
The state of Ohio has created 74 state
Parks, which offer swimming, bird
Watching, camping, hiking, boating,
Fishing and comfortable and affordable
Lodges; many state parks also offer skiing
During the winter season.
Many of our avid skiers have close access
To Boston Mills and Brandywine, which
Are both located in Cuyahoga Valley
National Park.
Nearby Strongsville offers a tobogganing
Run that has become very popular.
But for now, let’s make the most of
Sizzling August, because it fizzles out by
August 31st when school bells begin to ring!
Have fun in the sun!
