| One of the first parks in the district, the forests and amenities of Goodyear Heights Metro Park tell its nearly 100 year history. The 400-acre park offers open space for fishing, hiking, skiing, picnicking, and a wildlife-attracting marsh. | |
| pines are slowly giving way to black cherries, oaks and tulip trees through natural succession, while beech trees, sugar maples, basswoods, pin oaks, red maples and blackgum trees grow in other areas throughout the park. These woods provide habitat for owls, red fox, raccoons and other wildlife. In the north-central section, acidic soils support sassafras and sarsaparilla, species that were once used in beverage making. Along the edge of Alder Pond, a cattail marsh provides refuge for a variety of wildlife including waterfowl, birds, snapping turtles and muskrats. The pond also supports sphagnum moss and yellow birch trees. | |
