Dry Fork Pedestrian Bridge Construction Fall 2022-Winter 2023
Construction has begun on the Dry Fork Pedestrian Bridge at Governor Bebb MetroPark. Construction may necessitate the closure of some campsites in the Dry Fork Campground at Governor Bebb. If you have any questions about campsite closures, please contact MetroParks Visitor Services team at (513) 867-5835 or info@yourmetroparks.net.
Motor Vehicle Permits
In October 2022, the Board of Park Commissioners voted to remove Motor Vehicle Permits (MVPs) as a requirement for both Butler County residents and out of county visitors beginning January 1, 2023. An estimated 1.3 million park visits were made in 2021, and that number continues to climb. MetroParks is committed to making greenspaces more accessible for all, and eliminating MVPs will help more people create memories in the parks!
MetroParks will implement parking fees for attendees of Athletic Complex events held at Voice of America MetroPark and at some special events held in the parks that are executed by external organizations beginning in 2023.
Questions or comments regarding MVPs should be directed to MetroParks' Visitor Services team at 513.867.5835 or email info@yourmetroparks.net.
