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!
