Area measurement[edit]

Hectares is the standard unit for measuring land area in the metric system [1], comparable to the acre in US usage. It may not be a "standard" SI unit, but then neither is the litre. Try buying Coke in 0.002 m³, or 2000 cm³, bottles. Square kilometers isn't really used unless you're talking about entire countries. MARussellPESE 20:41, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Emerald Necklace[edit]

Considering the Cleveland metroparks emerald necklace is bigger shouldn't you be directed here first not Bostons??? You'd think but people from areas outside of Ohio think everything else is more important than Cleveland. I think it should be mentioned Cleveland Meteroparks received an award for one of the best park systems in a major city. I can't recall the title but it was on the news. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.205.110.244 (talk) 00:11, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From the pictures accompanying the article, it looks like Cleveland Metroparks is a beautiful system that any city would be privileged to have. But the matter of the redirect you suggest is not a case in which the relative prominence of the two cities nor the relative importance of things therein is the factor. "Emerald Necklace" is the official name of the 19th century park system in Boston, parts of which date to the 17th century. The name is being used as the nickname of the 20th century park system in Cleveland. -- Boston (talk) 03:07, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion needed[edit]

Each reservation should have a short description. For the larger and more complex reservations, i.e., Rocky River, North and South Chagrin, Brecksville, separate articles should be written.
The major river systems in that are in the system, i.e., Rocky River and the Chagrin River. Separate river articles need to be done or linked, but the associated reservations should be linked in this article.
A brief history of the WPA's involvement in the development of the facilties is needed.
The legislative creation of the system as a quasi-state, but local/county (multi-county) system should be approached.

I've been keeping an eye out for references, but they are few. Most of my information comes from prior years of experience with the people who worked there and the stories they told. (Chris Light (talk) 13:03, 15 March 2010 (UTC))[reply]
