The Cleveland Metroparks, one of several Ohio Metroparks, are a system of nature preserves in Greater Cleveland that encircle the city of Cleveland. These generally follow the rivers that flow through the region to Lake Erie. Referred to affectionately as the "Emerald Necklace", the network of 16 reservations across 22,000 acres (89 km²) includes hundreds of miles of walking, bicycle, and horse trails, parks, picnic areas, five nature education centers, six golf courses, and abundant fishing holes. In addition, the park district manages the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo in Cleveland. Several of the parks are adjacent to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
While the majority of the parks are in suburban Cuyahoga County, the Brookside Reservation and portions of two others are in the city of Cleveland. Two of the parks lie outside Cuyahoga County. A portion of the North Chagrin Reservation is in Lake County, and the Hinckley Reservation is in Hinckley Township in Medina County.
