    The nearest "city" park is about 200 yards due east of my house (think 80 acres of woods, trails and wildlife - not green grass).
    The nearest State Park is roughly 2 miles to the east/southeast of my house.
    (another state park is just 12 miles to the north/northeast)

    Copses. I like that word. It is out of use, but one of my favourite words. Thank you for using it.

    Ele, the coolest park I've ever seen is Sidecut Park. It is a series of canal locks from the old Ohio Canal system built in the mid 18oos.  It is in the Maumee, Ohio area.
