Orchard Hills Park is a 237-acre parcel in Chester Township, located behind Patterson Fruit Farm’s Farm Market. The property had formerly been managed as a golf course.
Driven by the research of the Natural Resource Management and Planning departments, Geauga Park District followed its mission toward the reclamation and reforestation of this beautiful landscape. Phase I ended in the fall of 2010 and included the planting of hundreds of trees and the addition of a parking lot, restrooms, indoor/outdoor lodge and sledding hill. Phase II ended in the fall of 2011 and continued the effort of reforestation and trail construction.
The restoration of Orchard Hills Park was funded in part by a grant from Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
