Secor Metropark is a regional park in Richfield Township and Sylvania Township, Ohio, owned and managed by Metroparks Toledo. The park is in the Oak Openings Region.[4]
Features[]
The park holds the most dogwoods of anywhere in Northwest Ohio, and most of Secor's tree trunks are buttressed - have extra wide bases - in order to remain stable in the park's swampy soil.[citation needed]
Wolfinger Cemetery, a burial site of Richfield Township's first settlers, is also held inside the park's boundaries.
The park is the former home of the National Center for Nature Photography.[5]
