Why Homestead Metro Park why was this picked

Homestead is known for its covered bridge, train station replica and two barns, along with a 2.5-acre fishing pond. The park now covers 376 acres after a 333-acre addition. A paved, ADA-rated 0.8-mile multiuse trail circles the main activity area and connects to the 6.1-mile Heritage Trail, and a playground sits near the pond. The Hilliard park at 4675 Cosgray Rd is open 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. from October through March.

  • Two play areas for toddler and older structures
