In Richfield Township, just over the Summit County line south of Brecksville, lies the Richfield Heritage Preserve: a 336-acre mostly-forested park with hiking and bridle trails. Beginning as an estate of the Kirby family, it was sold to the Cleveland Girl Scout Council in 1937 when it became known as Crowell Hilaka, which it remained until 2011. In 2014 Richfield Village and Richfield Township voters approved jointly purchasing the property and in 2016 it became the Richfield Heritage Preserve.
