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! This is a quiet spot to sit in peace. If you get a chance, take a book or a magazine and sit riverside.

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.

There is a number of things to see and explore ; from The Manor House( the former H.B. Stewart family home) to fishing at the 2-acre Shady Lane Pond, a stunning garden or mountain bike trails- this is a great park for all to enjoy! If you have children, there is a wonderful nature center with hands on activities, a large playground and live animals such as owls & hawks. You can also enjoy camping, plenty of hiking trails & even cross-country skiing during the colder months. My best friends had their wedding ceremony in the garden last summer...a lot of great options for pictures from a stone arch wall, the gazebo to the beautiful flowers themselves. There are also horse trails available as well as geocatching, a gift shop & a concessions stand with ice cream,etc.

One of the "park"…read morecemeteries like Mount Auburn near Cambridge Massachusetts and Hollywood in Richmond Virginia and Pere La Chaise in Paris, this uses the hills and promontories to present a more idyllic landscape compared to the flat "lawn" cemeteries. Quiet lanes for driving through or get a good workout by parking and then taking a hike. Politicians and industrialists and regular people are laid to reset here, with perhaps the most well known being Frank Seiberling (1859 to 1955) who founded the Goodyear Tire company that is based here in Akron. Plenty to see here and of course, a peaceful spot for a walk. Please remember that this is an "active" cemetery so be respectful with noise. [Review 1347 of 2024 - 266 in Ohio - 22370 overall]

I would love to rate this park higher, as it's such a beautiful place, but the location pulls it…read moredown to a 3. Positives: it's gorgeous! Large soccer fields and open fields, a nice lake complete with a fishing dock, multiple areas with picnic tables and shade, two different kids play areas, benches and swings, a basketball court, and a hidden gem of a gazebo make this such a desirable park. Negatives: location! Its only entrance for vehicles is off of Silver Meadows BLVD, and this park is backed right up to the Silver Meadows apartments. There have been shootings in the past, there is definitely drug activity, and there have been robberies. It's not often, but it does happen. MY kids LOVE this park! We go there to feed the ducks and geese often. BUT this is a park that I do not bring my kids to unless I am concealed carrying.

First of all, the "unsavory" apartment complex is simply diverse and low income. Dog feces is not…read moreas common as one reviewer implies, there is even a container for people to share plastic grocery bags to help unprepared dog owners. Goose turds are another issue altogether. Starting in the spring, be prepared to prevent your dog from eating the turds, if your dog is so inclined. Al Lease is great. We have a walking trail with multiple pathways around a cute little pond. The landscape is well maintained with fresh mulch and mowing accomplished regularly. Along the edge of the manicured areas one can see different flora and fauna including bunnies and even find wild raspberries during the summer. Every spring the geese and goslings spend much time around the park. One can reserve the pavilions for around $20/day through the P&R website. During the appropriate seasons, there are athletics, soccer and baseball are most common. Fishing is a common activity seen when the temperatures are right. There are 2 small playgrounds, one is well designed for younger children and the other is more suited for school age children. As for down sides, the wooden structures like the pavilions, the gazebo, and the deck over the water could use some maintenance. Occasionally the mosquitoes get out of hand. Given that the park has a pond, and marshes, this is expected. The City of Kent usually controls this with mosquito spraying but during the height of mosquito season, bring repellent just in case the spraying hasn't been done yet.

The trails run right next to the river so you consistently have a great view. There is definitely wild life to see. We saw a crane and a racoon on our visit. Overall a very peaceful and serene spot to connect with nature. The park website has great maps to figure out where to park or get on the trail. There are a few spots you can get onto the trail to make it a short walk to the falls if that's what you're looking for.

The parking lot is small and can probably park about six cars. There's a porta potty there and that's about it. There's only one trail and it's less than a mile round trip. It starts off with a pretty big descent which is great but, keep in mind, you have to climb it to return to the parking lot! The entire path is well shaded and your ears will enjoy the sound of flowing water from the Cuyahoga River. When you make it to the river, you'll agree it's quite beautiful. It's great for skipping rocks if that's something you can do. I can't but I enjoy watching my boyfriend do it. It's very tranquil down there and you'll most likely see other hikers on the other side of the river. If you do, they are, most likely, on one of the trails from Cascade. I'd feel bad if I didn't warn you of the smell halfway down the hill. So, that's your warning!
