Brecksville Reservation CCC Camp, 1936
A second CCC camp, Ohio State Park Camp No. 19, opened in Cleveland Metroparks Brecksville Reservation during August of 1935. Despite the protests of the Metropolitan Park Board, the junior CCC unit disbanded in December, 1937 following a curtailment in the number of Ohio camps.

The CCC operation in Brecksville had originally been scheduled to close in 1936 as part of an effort by Roosevelt's administration to reduce the number of CCC camps nationwide. An outpouring of community support for the CCC, however, led to the federal government expanding the program instead.
