- Our November 2025 Roundtable program focused on the Cleveland Metroparks Nature Center – Barge 225.The Cleveland Metroparks is transforming the former Hornblowers restaurant barge into a floating nature center, named Barge 225, to be located at Wildwood Marina in Euclid Creek Reservation. This 8,500-square-foot project will feature STEM-based education, interactive exhibits, a wet lab, classroom space, and community event areas, with plans for public and school-aged programs. The barge was acquired in 2023 and is being converted into a year-round nature-based education center.
- Our panelist included: Sean McDermott, Cleveland Metroparks, Clif Brown, DS Architecture, Mark Cencer, KS Associates, Megan Blank, Osborn Engineering, Tom Hill, The Ruhlin Company
