Gilmore MetroPark Boardwalk Capital Campaign

Help Us Reach Our Goal! 

In late 2023, MetroParks received a $150,000 grant from Clean Ohio Rec Trails to help replace the boardwalk at Gilmore MetroPark. The new boardwalk will upgrade a key link in the Wetlands Trail Loop and will provide more stable access through the park while minimizing disturbances to the forested wetland areas. 

MetroParks is launching a capital campaign to fundraise for the additional $115,000 required to complete the Gilmore Boardwalk project. We are $95,000 away from our goal! You can help make the the new boardwalk a reality at Gilmore MetroPark. Donors can help contribute in a few ways: 

Make a donation to the Gilmore MetroPark Improvement Fund at the Fairfield Community Foundation. Your tax-deductible donation will help us improve this National Audubon Society Important Birding Area! Click here to donate or scan the QR code. Donors who contribute a one-time gift of $100 or more will receive an "On Gilmore Ponds" Charley Harper poster!
