City Of Huber Heights

Huber Heights, OH

Jeff Gore

Mayor

Pledge Summary

Huber Heights, OH is located between Carriage Hill Metropark (a 900+ acre historical farm) owned by Five Rivers Metroparks and Thomas A. Cloud Park, a City of Huber Heights Park. Thomas A. Cloud Park will be home to a new and updated pollinator garden including a native plant seed collection box. With 12 municipal parks and a Community Garden program, it is no surprise that one of the core values is Environmental Sustainability. 2026 Environmental Projects include removing invasive Bradford Pear Trees and replacing with native heritage trees. As a municipal government, it is our duty to protect our green spaces, providing safe plays to discover and protect all animals that inhabit the parks.
