Season 2 | Episode 15: Cleveland's Backyard: The Momentum of the Metroparks

Episode 15 of Saints Speak brings us outdoors just in time for Earth Day! We're joined by Chief Planning and Design Officer for Cleveland Metroparks, LCA Parent and Board Member, Sean McDermott, who takes us behind the scenes of one of Northeast Ohio's greatest treasures. From the vision that shapes the park system to exciting projects on the horizon, we explore how the Metroparks continue to grow, adapt, and serve the community. Along the way, we talk about practical ways to experience the parks, hidden gems you might not know about, and why access to green space matters now more than ever. Plus, we kick things off with our usual look at what's been happening and what's coming up in the life of LCA as the end of the school year quickly approaches. Whether you're a regular on the trails or just looking for a reason to get outside, this episode is a perfect way to celebrate Earth Day and rediscover Cleveland's Emerald Necklace.
