Ohio State Park Art Prints

Ohio has long been celebrated for its natural beauty and commitment to public recreation. In 2025 the Ohio Department of Natural Resources announced that the state’s network of parks received the National Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management—an honor that recognizes innovation, accessibility, conservation, and community engagement. This award underscores the value of these treasured landscapes and the role they play in our lives.
