The 100 Acre Wood (previously identified on this page as Big Walnut Creek Parkland) is a site dominated by old-growth oak-maple forest, ravines and 100-foot bluffs that overlook Big Walnut Creek. The 98-acre natural area was acquired on January 31, 2017. An additional 52 acres were added on June 23, 2017.
Metro Parks staff developed a Stormwater Management Plan to ensure the surface water runoff from our parks meets the best water quality standards possible as it enters our local rivers and streams. It includes inspections, education and public involvement. The plan must be adopted by our Board of Park Commissioners and available for the public to review and provide comment. Any questions or comments can be sent to info@metroparks.net.
