Three Rivers Park District is a “Special Park District” that was established by the State legislature.  The mission is “TO PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP THROUGH RECREATION AND EDUCATION IN A NATURAL RESOURCE BASED PARK SYSTEM”

Three Rivers is one of 10 Metro Regional Park Districts and manages over 27,000 acres of park land and over 200 miles of trails. There are Park Reserves and Special Feature Parks, beaches and filtered swim ponds, Nature Centers; Winter Recreation opportunities that includes downhill and cross country skiing, tubing, snowboarding; camping  grounds;  golf (championship, junior, disc); arts; history; botanical; agriculture; off leash dog parks; mountain biking; horseback trails; archery and more.  THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, EVERY AGE, EVERY INTEREST AND EVERY ABILITY.
