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!

So pretty. Especially in summer when the pond in the flower section is in full bloom.read more

This park was well rated with a perfect prior to my tour at Castle Noel. …read more Summit Metro Parks; were clean, scenic and well maintained . Trail markers , paved trails, even a bi monthly quaterly magazine, listing all sorts of events. This was my first visit to an Ohio park to explore, and will defintly check out other locations in the near future. The vistor center staff were friendly ; the center itself was marvelous with variety of things to explore,the tree exhibit, the bird feeding area, kids area , turtles and the akorn gift shop. The gift shop shaped in a Maple leaf, in my opinion was genuis , simple addition to center for kids and nature lovers. Fall will be approaching soon; be sure to hike and enjoy the beauty of nature with exercise and fresh air.

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.

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.
