Five Rivers MetroParks Foundation

A huge thank you to Square One Salon and Spa and the The Rubi Girls for their incredible support during Square One's Earth Month Fundraiser!

Thanks to the generosity of Square One's staff, clients, and community supporters, funds were raised in support of the Possum Creek ADA Trail and Fishing Outcrops Project, making the outdoors more accessible for people of all abilities.

We are especially grateful to the Rubi Girls for partnering in this effort and helping make a lasting impact on our parks and community.

Together, you're helping create more opportunities for everyone to connect with nature and enjoy the beauty of Possum Creek MetroPark. Thank you for making a difference! 💚🌎🎣♿

A huge thank you to Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway for presenting the Five Rivers MetroParks Foundation with a generous $5,000 check today following their Earth Month fundraising efforts throughout April. Foundation Board Vice President Deb Hunt and Five Rivers MetroParks Chief of Philanthropy Alexis Larsen were on hand to accept this generous gift.

Partnerships like this help us protect green spaces, expand access to nature, support environmental education and continue creating places where our community can connect with the outdoors for generations to come. We’re incredibly grateful to Hollywood Casino for investing in the parks and helping make a difference right here in the Miami Valley. 🌎💚

Meet Evie!

One of the adopters of Buckeye at the Carriage Hill MetroPark Riding Center. Evie has a deep love for animals and dreams of one day becoming an animal doctor.

Knowing about this passion, Evie’s great-grandparents brought her to the riding center and had her choose a horse to adopt. To celebrate this special moment, they also created a custom 3D-printed frame to recognize the adoption and commemorate Evie’s connection with Buckeye.
