Darke County Parks
Program opportunities at the DCP
Have you ever attended one of the many programs offered by the Darke
County Parks? If not, it’s time you do! Many of the programs and events
offered by the Darke County Parks are completely FREE of charge. For
example, Prairie Days, Maple Sugarin’ Festival, Luminary Walk,
conservation kids after-school program, nature hikes, dog walks and
many more are all offered for no fee. Some programs require a
small fee which covers input cost. Most fee-based programs are offered
for under $10. These include parent and preschool adventures, pumpkin
hunt, canoe and kayak trips and more.
Darke County Parks also offers numerous in-classroom school programs
and field trip opportunities. These are available to every school in
Darke County, completely free of charge.
One of the newest programs, Rest Home Roam, is another free program
offered to all rest homes in the area. Residents have been able to
enjoy visiting with naturalists and animal ambassadors through the
windows of their rooms.
In March, programming was transitioned to all digital formats because
of the uncertainty of the Covid pandemic. The Darke County Parks is
happy to announce that they will begin to offer some in-person public
programs starting September 18th, while continuing a selection of
digital options as well.
Upcoming programs include:
Morning Bird Walks Every Friday 9/18-11/20 @ 9:00 am
