Cleveland, OH - Lake Metroparks Farmpark is closed until further notice to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Country Lights Drive-Thru is going on as scheduled. For event information and tickets, visit goto.lakemetroparks.com/tickets.
Due to this temporary closure, Lake Metroparks fully intends to extend all Farmpark memberships by whatever period of time we are shut down. This extension will occur once we reopen and normal business resumes; we assure you that Farmpark members will not lose benefits due to this public health concern. Sales of new memberships and renewals have been temporarily halted until Farmpark reopens.
