Coe Lake is an incredibly beautiful park that is well manicured and lots of photo-worthy locations near the Cleveland airport. I boil with envy that west siders have such an incredible public park they can visit while I have to drive 40 minutes to get here! Every time I come here, I am always happy to see lots of people utilizing the park. There's a beautiful pagoda, a new and extensive playground, and a great walking trails around the very clean lake. The Berea Public Library is also in this complex, which I will also be giving its own review of 5 stars! I guess Berea resident's tax dollars are being used more wisely than those of us on the east side, haha! read more

A cute, well maintained park. There is a lake that you are able to fish at or take a walk around it. There is a large playground area for the children and multiple picnic tables and benches. Plenty of parking available. read more

Beautiful landscaping, plenty of accessible parking, right next door to police station; safe and serene. We went for the water lantern festival. There are so many beautiful spots here at the lake. It's great if you bring a chair but there's natural elements where you could sit for example, the rock seating area and the multiple grassy areas. I definitely look forward to returning in the future. read more

Great park and playground There is a huge parking lot next to the lake so easy to access. There is a gazebo, playgrounds, benches and picnic tables. The lake is great for fishing, paddling or just hiking around. The park is also walking distance to many shops and restaurants. So if you visit the park walk around and check out part of the city. read more

LAKE -- I had no idea this beautiful lake existed until my friend who lives in Berea told me about it. This is an absolutely stunning park and lake. It is very well maintained too. The lake is small but it provides for a great scenery around the park as you walk around. The walking paths are expansive (wide) even for a small area. You can walk deep into the woods as well where the tall trees are. LOCATION -- It is very close to Berea Commons shopping center and the Baldwin Wallace University campus. The Berea library is in the same vicinity of the lake (across from the lake) and literally a 1 min walk away. FISHING -- I saw people fishing when I first visited on 16 June 2019. I would recommend visiting this lake to walk, jog, or just sit on one of the many benches. **** - 86 total reviews in 2019 - 295 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 30 June 2019 read more

Beautiful park full of life and color. The new kid park is great as well. They have a pool that's open during the summer season. On Sundays during summer thru early fall there is a great classic car show. The pavilion is new and can be rented for personal events or family gatherings. The walk around the lake is pleasant. There are people fishing, walking, talking, running, sunning and funning. Dog walking, wagging, playing so much going on. The library and police department is basically part of Coe Lake. Just sitting here and talking in all the beauty is so very relaxing. It's a place for everyone. read more

It's a beautiful place to go for a walk and learn about trees. It's in a nice community that is safe for children to play. On the other hand if you are deciding to go here to fish, I would advise you to find another place. Come lake is a highly pressured lake. Many leave skunked (not able to catch anything) after hours of fishing. The reliable wacky rig stick bait, nightcrawlers, shrimp, and even corn are no good here. The fish just won't bite. You might have luck on your side and might be able to catch 1 or 2 fish after 5 hours. Take my suggestion and go fish in Akron. There are many lakes and ponds there with plenty of fish or take a trip to Norwalk or even Chippewa lake. Just don't waste your time here if you are going fishing this includes Wallace lake as well. read more

A great location for a wedding ceremony (this is where I had mine), and scenic pictures. Aside from the ever-present geese, the grounds are well-maintained, constantly improved and always have gorgeous flower arrangements in the gardens. The gazebo is gigantic and can hold about 40 people. In the spring and summer, there's a beautiful fountain right in the middle of the lake. I've gotten some GREAT wedding shots here. read more

This is a very small lake situated behind Berea's City Hall and the Cuyahoga County Library. Once a Sandstone Quarry, it is now an excellent lake for fishing and canoeing. A Gazebo and the Kiwanis Picnic Pavillion highlight the west bank and a foot bridge adorns the north end. The Community Band concerts are held in the gazebo in the summertime. Coe Lake also has a boardwak with a pier, a bird and butterfly habitat and a plaza. Coe Lake is within easy walking distance to B-W's campus. It is adjacent to the campus apartments, Berea Townhouses. I took a canoeing class my freshman year; we took our final on Coe Lake. The boardwalk can be romantic at night. I have named it Berea's make-out point. read more

Here's a clean, readable Yelp-style review that keeps your experience intact but flows more…read moresmoothly and sounds polished: First Visit to Splash Zone - Overland, Ohio This was my first visit to Splash Zone in Overland, Ohio. Registration is a bit of a process. You first have to create a profile through the Lorain County Metro Parks system, then return to the Splash Zone site to register for a specific program on a designated day and time. Once registered, the system shows your cost--mine initially showed $0. I arrived about 30 minutes early on the morning of my class, which turned out to be helpful because I had to re-register in person. After completing that, I was told there would normally be a $3 fee due to my SilverSneakers account. However, the woman at the front desk kindly let me attend for free that day, explaining that future visits would be $3. Since I'd never been there before, I had to navigate through several locker and pool areas. There are multiple pools separated by glass dividers with automatic doors--someone shared a helpful tip that the small black box above the door shows which side to stand on to trigger it. The instructor came in without much of an introduction, set up a small carry-on-size speaker, put on her headset, and began the class. The workout was aqua Tabata (a Japanese-style interval workout): 20 seconds of fast-paced movement followed by 10 seconds of rest. The class lasted 45 minutes. I stayed for about 30 minutes, choosing to leave early since shower space is limited and I like to be considerate of others. The workout itself was excellent, and being in the water felt really good. The showers, however, were not great--hair on the floor and a general "public park" feel, even at 10:30 a.m. I was glad I wore water shoes. On the plus side, the water temperature and the very hot shower afterward were appreciated. The instructor mentioned that this is her business and encouraged people to connect on Facebook (with a profile photo), and it's clear she's very talented. Overall, despite a few logistical and cleanliness issues, I'd go back again--and next time, I'd happily pay the $3 when I'm in town.

We had three young children with us. You enter through the main pool area and walk to your right out a set of doors. There is a large pool area that is sectioned off for different uses. There is a gradual entry area with a water playground for kids, this is connected to the main part of the pool that gets about 5 feet deep. There are 2 slides that you have to be 48 inches to ride. The lifeguards have a break for 15 minutes after 45 minutes of swimming. All kids have to get out of the water. While waiting there are lots of lounge chairs, a snack shack offer ice cream, hot dogs, pretzels, etc. along with a playground and swing area for the kids. There are also two indoor areas you can take the kids to play with the frog pool for younger kids and the indoor water playground.

I went for aqua aerobics. These signs were on the wall for motivation.
