Nona France / Blue Creek Recreation Area

The Blue Creek Recreation Area / Nona France Park, located on State Route 64 (Waterville Street) near the eastern edge of the Village, was once the location of the Nona France Stone Quarry and consists of 80+ acres of land. The Metropolitan Park District owns the land and it abuts the Blue Creek Conservation Area, also owned by the Metroparks. The largest of the old stone quarries is located on this property and provides beautiful scenery where many different forms of wildlife can be spotted, including birds, butterflies, deer, fox, raccoons, ducks, geese, etc. (No fishing, swimming, or boating is allowed on the quarry).

There is a sledding hill located on the property where children of all ages can be seen enjoying the cold wintry days.

Plenty of wide open space encourages picnickers, practice fields for sports teams, and just plain lounging around! Bring a blanket, picnic lunch, and your camera for a great fun-filled day!
