This 149-acre former fishing club was acquired by the Geauga Park District in 1993. Avid anglers continue to catch a wide variety of fish, including bass, bluegill, and northern pike.

Bessie Benner Metzenbaum Park is crowned by a sandstone knoll in the midst of a mature beech-maple forest, rising 140 feet above Griswold Creek.

Two paved trails provide opportunities for people of all abilities to enjoy the excellent bird-watching at this location.
