On June 9, the Cleveland Metroparks will be recognized for its environmental work, is planning and construction partners, and more. The award ceremony will take place in Castle Rock, Colorado. The park system will receive the 2019 Environmental/Conservation award for its upcoming addition of more than 70 acres for the South Chagrin Reservation, consisting largely of wetlands, streams and forests. The park system was able to purchase the land thanks to a $4.15 million grant from the Ohio EPA.

The 2019 Planning Initiative Award will be given to the Cleveland Metroparks for its updated park plans for each of its 18 reservations. The award will be given for the park system's long-term planning. The Historical and Cultural Facility award will be given to the Look About Lodge in the South Chagrin Reservation. The lodge was originally built in 1938 by the Works Progress Administration, in partnership with the Cleveland Metroparks. The park system has been restoring the stone columns and second-floor porch to mimic the original construction. The lodge is on the National Regsiter of Historic Places.

Finally, two Cleveland Metroparks partners will also receive NACPRO awards in June.
