Funny, I'm on the ground floor of that block of buildings at least once a week, visiting the smoke shop and newsstand. Never knew where this stuff came from...
The guv at local and state levels don't exactly update signage with blazing speed do they?
I don't think anyone is in a hurry to revise the written rules. I conceal carry whenever I go there. I'll be at the Englewood Metropark tomorrow afternoon and will be packing my Glock 35.

What are your rules and/or policies regarding open carry of handguns for private citizens within your areas / trails ?
Also please elaborate on concealed carrying of handguns should you have different policies for each method of carry.
Thank You,
Just what I suspected..........Due to many private entities taking over control of state and city properties to maintain under contract........They are enacting no carry laws under private ownership. Lease and ownership fall under the same laws regarding personal property rights.
These E-mails are from the Miami Conservancy District which control the bike trails along the rivers................and who knows what else...
As of right now Metroparks have not responded to my E-mails...
Private entity? I just looked at their website, it says they're a political subdivision of Ohio--like a county park district. They just haven't updated their rules, Splat, and nobody who works there is likely to tell you anything that's not sitting in print in front of them, outta date or not.
Look, the state Liquor Control Board is still issuing those "If you are carrying a firearm in this liquor establishment..." signs with wording that has remained unchanged since, heck, the 1960s or so. Whether in a bar, gas station, or a wine shop, same signs, same wording.
