I live near this park and have been using it for over 60 years. Here is some updated information:…read moreSwimming is no longer allowed. (for humans) Dogs can swim on Thursdays only. There is no charge to get in. The paved road around the lake has been split into a one-way driving/biking road and a with an adjacent walking lane. There is a Hike/bike trail called The Freedom Trail that borders this park. Metro Parks Summit County is going to add a connector trail between them in 2026. The Freedom Trail in this area is a rail trail, so it is pretty flat. There is an area called Tallmadge Meadows that to me is a separate park, because the two areas have very different prior ownership and history, but Metro Parks considers them to be the same park. The parking for Tallmadge Meadows is right around the corner from South River Rd. on South Main St. (Rt 91). There is also a trailhead in Munroe Falls for the Summit County Bike and Hike Trail. It is about a ¼ mile North of South River Rd and runs along the Cuyahoga River. I used to be a Firefighter/EMT in Munroe Falls and it was not unusual for us to get called out to the "Metro Park" and have to ask, "which one"? All 3 of these are great parks and I consider myself luck to live in between them.

This review is limited to the Chief Netawatwees statue that is erected directly opposite the…read moreentrance of the park. The statue is made entirely out of black oak and was created by Joe Frhonapfel. It weighs over 4000 pounds. Chief Netawatees was the head of the Lenape Indian tribe. Known to his people as "the wise counselor" he had relocated his people to Eastern Ohio where he helped a Moravian missionary near his village. He later died at Fort Pitt during the Revolutionary war. The statue sits on a medial strip on Front street directly facing the park. It is colorful and is a great representation of a honored tribal chief. There is a crosswalk so you can safely go over and view the statue from a safe distance. The back of the statue is solid black. Check it out before engaging in the many activities this park has to offer by the Cuyahoga river.

If you do this, please be careful- I slipped on a rock and cut my knee up pretty badly. Check out the history behind the Doodlebug crash and find a geocache if it's still there!

I found this tiny park by accident and couldn't have been more smitten! Way to surprise me,…read moreCuyahoga Falls. This is a small garden with a covered rotunda and 1 stone picnic table. Pollinators (bees, butterflies, moths, etc) are an essential part of the ecosystem. They allow native plants to survive and are important in food crop production. To help fight the decline in pollinators, Cuyahoga Falls planted this butterfly garden at the entrance of High Bridge Glens Park. It has a cute, butterfly themed rod iron entryway. Again, this garden is small, but if you catch it in bloom, I imagine it's magical. I did spot a baby monarch and that made me so happy! I loved the two signs on the property explaining what types of butterflies and flowers you might see. This would be a wonderful place to bring kids and help instill an appreciation for protecting nature. However, because this spot is small, keep that in mind during the pandemic, as it's not a space I'd care to share with anyone at all. I want to live in a world where our pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies, aren't at such a high risk of extinction. Great job to the City of Cuyahoga Falls!

More than just a slide and swings, there is some variety in the available activities for the kiddos, including a standup seesaw, and a little boat hammock. And something I'd never seen, a swing with a seat for a baby/toddler and a larger person to sit facing each other - cool. The trees seem trimmed and maintained, as well as a fresh looking batch of mulch along the ground. Nice place to have fun with the kids.

I used to live right next to Brust Park and would go there almost every day and in every season. You can never go wrong. By the parking area is an overlook looking at the Cuyahoga River. Which smells so fresh and clean. Walk the paved path (running along the river) East towards Kent or west towards Cuyahoga Falls/Silver Lake. You can make a left going west and end up in waterworks park, equally as gorgeous. It kind of seems like it's all the same park to me. Going west will also take you past a large pond that people fish in and there is often a blue heron hanging out there. There are many opportunities to get close to the river and many little trails off the beaten path that you can explore. There's always people kayaking. This park is so inspiring and I still make it a point to go out of my way to go here even though I live 30 minutes away now. As far as facilities go, there is a nice bathroom at the entrance and you can find more at waterworks a short way down the path. As far as the other review stating a junkyard exploded I have no idea what that is referring to. The park is scenic and clean, yes it does go behind some houses, but nice ones at that and I never felt that it took away from the experience. Also I don't recall there being ample trash cans for dog waste but I don't have a dog. I know there are at least a few trash cans going west. I wouldnt knock this place just for that though. I hope if you get the chance to enjoy this park that you love it as much as I do.
