Belong to Something Naturally Extraordinary
Go beyond an ordinary visit to the park.
Explore distinctive natural places, learn from trusted experts, and share memorable experiences with people who are just as curious about the natural world as you are.
From guided excursions and wildlife encounters to conservation conversations, outdoor wellness, and music inspired by nature, Foundation for Geauga Parks membership brings you closer to nature in unexpected ways.
Members enjoy included programming, priority registration, special opportunities, and the chance to experience select trails, protected properties, and natural areas not ordinarily open to the public.
Come curious. Leave connected.
No expertise required. Just bring your curiosity.
Nature Is Better When We Experience It Together
Some experiences simply cannot be recreated on your own.
They happen when a naturalist reveals the wildlife hidden around you. When a geologist helps you read the story written in the landscape. When music changes how you hear the natural world—or a quiet morning outdoors helps you slow down and reconnect.
Foundation for Geauga Parks membership is a year of discovery, connection, and belonging. It brings adults together through meaningful experiences inspired by nature, conservation, science, local history, wellness, exploration, and the forces shaping Northeast Ohio’s natural environment.
You do not need to be an expert, an athlete, or an experienced hiker. You only need to be curious.
EXPLORE
Experience remarkable landscapes, distinctive trails, and select properties that may not ordinarily be open to the public.
DISCOVER
