I love how the family was linked to the Seiberling family. (Basically they were in the railroad industry and transported their tires). The house is large, but not flashy nor extravagant. Just well-decorated and captures a snapshot of the era(s) when they lived there. I am excited go back at christmastime.

I was out shopping in Hartville and wanted to get a hike in so I checked out Quail Hollow Park…read more The park is part of the Stark Park system and is located just Northeast of the Hartville main business district. The park is decent sized and provides hiking, bridal and mountain bike trails. On my visit I got to hike about 1/2 the park with a bit of all 3 types of trails including parts of the Buckeye Trail and the Mountain Bike Trail. While the trails were nice, well marked and generally a nice wild feel for a hiker like me I was a bit disappointed. The trails are generally low moderate with not much elevation change and very little challenge. Doing a loop from the Manor House on the Purple and Buckeye Trails was mostly forest, but there were sections that were open fields and also paved sections. The part of the Mountain Bike Trail I did was really mellow and lacked variety. While Quail Hollow Park seems nice it lacks variety and challenge for more advanced hikers. This would be a great park if you are looking for a place to take a nice easy hike or easy mountain biking. Probably not the place if you want to really get a workout or find a diverse hike.

Beautiful place to enjoy a run on the trail. It is never crowded and plenty of parking!read more

I recently found this cute and quaint park in Wadsworth, and I'm happy I did. I came here for a…read moreshort run on the trail and loved the scenery. The trail itself is a little over one mile paved from end-to-end. If you find yourself aching for more mileage, you can easily continue onto the neighborhood sidewalks. I found the entire park and the length of the trail well maintained, mowed, pruned, and litter-free. There's an event space, aptly named The Trolley Line House. It has the cutest signage featuring a model trolley and the exterior is decorated for fall. There's a bicycle parking rack and maintenance station for basic repairs or tube changes. Down by the parking area is a large picnic pavilion with four tables and electrical outlets. On the other side of the event house is a fire pit and I'd love to join a gathering here. All in all, it's a truly great little park. Can't wait to see if the trail gets extended - I'd be here even more if it was.

The Exploration Gateway is off of 12th St and right on Sippo Lake. They have a nature center, gift shop, several meeting rooms where they host special events, and a branch of the Stark County Library. There are several short trails branching off from the building and parking lots, at least some of which are stroller friendly. There is also a small playground.

Fishing and kayaking are allowed in the pond, there are benches throughout, and a covered pavilion with picnic tables. To boot, there is a playground for the kids (wood chips), dogs are allowed, and there is an awesome sled riding hill! I've walked the trails with my jogging stroller on the unpaved portions and did fine. This is a great park if you want or avoid the congestion found at most other central Medina city parks especially during the summer and grade school spring break.

I highly recommend this park for dog walking. We make two loops on the Trillium Trail to tire our pup out and let him get in his sniffs for the day. Hubbard Valley is also a great fishing spot if that is your thing. There is a small playground for the kids and a pavilion available for use or rental. They have ample parking and restrooms on site as well.

A lot of outdoors activities can be done here...walking, fishing, biking, canoeing and crossover-country skiing. The paths are wide. One is paved and one is gravel. The 1.4 mile Greenway Trail goes by here, as well as The Buckeye Trail. Woods surround one side of the large lake, and houses can be seen on the other side. A few benches are placed along the upper trail. Come to walk and view the scenery, including the sunsets.

I've been making use of the various sections of this park now for several months and it's about…read moretime it got a well-deserved review out of me. In short, I really love this park. I think it's a shining gem and the area Metro Parks network. The park is segmented into at least three sections (it could be more, honestly). My personal favorite, and most frequently visited, is the archery range. Even if this was all the part consisted of, it would be the gem by itself. Anything like this I've found down south would come at a fee and still not be so well maintained. Then there's the XC course combined with the disc golf course. Just to sit or walk here taking in the broad vistas is a meditative experience for me. The entire place is cleaned and mowed frequently. Even in winter it can be breathtaking. To be honest, I haven't even made it to the main section of the park featuring the pond and trails where you can kayak and hike. All of this for the price of your tax dollars already paid. Still I see these places lightly visited and, therefore, even more worth your time.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because they close it down for far too long in the winter. It was into May before they opened it again. There were many nice days I would have taken our dogs if it had been open. But, like I said, great dog park that often has plenty of friends for your dogs to play with. Would highly recommend it for any dog owner!
