Gov. John R. Kasich was joined by the daughters of Jesse Owens at an Ohio State celebration of the grand opening of Jesse Owens State Park and Wildlife Area. This new 5,735-acre addition to Ohio’s public lands, planned to eventually span more than 13,000 acres, will provide Ohioans, as well as visitors to the Buckeye State, countless opportunities to enjoy outdoor recreational activities, including hunting, fishing, hiking and camping. Jesse Owens (1913-1980), raised in Cleveland, was a world record-setting sprinter at The Ohio State University who became an international sports legend after winning four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin.
