Sagamore
Hills Township Park
|
| Sagamore
Hills Township Park had its beginning in 1984 as a 5.3 acre parcel
across the street from the township Safety Center. The parcel
was donated by the State of Ohio. Under the direction of Trustee
Rose Mary Snell, an additional adjoining 35 acres was purchased
from the State of Ohio in 1997 and the park was born. |
| Today
Sagamore Hills maintains 40 acres of park land and 191 acres of
untouched green space within the township. The park space is meant
to provide residents and visitors with a safe, clean, well maintained
park for outdoor recreation. |
| Hours:
The park is open from 9:00 a.m. to dusk throughout the year. |
| Pavilions:
There
are two pavilions, both with access to water, electricity, grills
and restrooms. Pavilion A, the smaller of the two, is in close
proximity to 2 playgrounds and a horseshoe pit and can accommodate
up to 80 people. Pavilion B is adjacent to a large swing set and
sand volleyball court and can accommodate up to 130 people. Both
pavilions are handicap accessible. |
Pavilions

of the pavilions is by reservation only and may be made by calling

Cuyahoga
Valley Regional Council of Governments
|
|
The Cuyahoga
Valley Regional Council of Governments (COG) was first organized
in 1977 as a non-profit organization (called the "Cuyahoga
Valley Communities Council"). In 2007, the Council reorganized
as a regional Council of Governments (under Chapter 167 of Ohio
Revised Code) and its name was changed to highlight the regional
emphasis of its mission. Today, the Cuyahoga Valley Regional
COG is comprised of 29 participating units of government --
cities, villages, townships, counties, school districts, and
metroparks (located within the region surrounding the Cuyahoga
Valley from Cleveland to Akron), which work as cooperative partners
with the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP). Representatives
are designated by the participating units of government to participate
regularly in discussion forums that investigate mutual interests
and concerns. View more information about COG members and their
representatives at the following link: Cuyahoga Valley Regional
COG.
