A nice park. A lovely and secluded oasis of nature. Great for walks…read more A church friend invited me to a picnic with her and her family after church one Sunday in September 2025. I don't think this is a great park for picnics because upon entry, I only saw one picnic table with benches so other people will have to sit on the ground if the table is occupied. Sitting on the ground is fine but it may not be convenient for some people. This park is a good option for walking or taking a mini hike with friends and family. There is a rocky area with some water that is cool to see as it is a mini waterfall. Bring sturdy shoes and a water bottle. Overall, I had fun at David Fortier River Park. It seems to be a hidden gem unless you live in the area. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 187/250 total reviews in 2026 - 1028 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 11 September 2026

They have bathrooms attached to one end and a put putt course behind. The parking lot goes back a little further by some of the trail entrances and there is a playground. Paths are mostly paved or covered in stone. The path branches off to the high school and back to a event building. If it's your first time there I suggest taking a picture of the map so you can stay on course. If you choose the path that goes under the road it loops around a pond. The pond has a small floating dock. Great park if you have a little time to explore.

Walkable, fishing, jungle gyms, hanging out, and you can have events there as well like weddings. It's very nice and a good use of space. This was the last concert of summer 2026. It was fun and packed. Lots of food trucks and people having picnics and dancing, singing and enjoying themselves. Overall very good time. Parking for this was a challenge but normally parking at the lake is easy and right there. No problems. This is a very nice venue and city park. Berea has done a great job with this and their downtown. Cure little town with a lot to offer.

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!

I'm from the east side, and for years I've driven over the bridges telling myself, "One day I'm…read moregoing to stop and wander through that park." I'm so happy I finally did. Now I already know I'll be back, because we only explored part of it -- but what my sister, her pup, and I wandered through was fun, peaceful, and a little adventurous. At one point there was literally a giant mallard just standing in the middle of the woods like he owned the place. And then there were stairs that climb straight up the side of the mountain -- okay, hill -- but it felt like a mountain in the best way. The whole walk made me feel free. If you ever find yourself wanting a moment outside, a breath of fresh air, or just a place to wander, stop here. It's worth it.

The park has plenty of parking, depending on what area you would like to explore. There is a golf course and multiple areas for fishing. You can also take your kayak and kayak the emerald necklace.

We saw lots of wildlife and listening to the frogs was awesome. We also tried to take a loop path through the woods, but it was extremely muddy and at one point we couldn't figure out where the path went and had to turn around. There is a nice pavilion and there are restrooms.

Looks as though there is playground for younger kids and one for older kids. There are also bocce courts, an area for horseshoes and 2 nice-sized covered pavilions (connected with a fireplace which would be amazing in the fall). A few baseball fields are right next to the area as well.

Chairs were placed outside in a slightly wooded area with trees. Due to rain that started as soon as my friend, the bride, walked down the aisle, the wedding ceremony was cut extremely short. The whole ceremony took about 5 minutes because of the rain. After the ceremony, we all took cover under the white gazebo for about 20 minutes. Then, everyone proceeded to the cabin in the park where dinner would be served. Unfortunately, I couldn't stay for dinner but I briefly entered the building/cabin however, I didn't see much because I had to leave. It was most likely set up with tables and chairs for dinner. Regarding having a simple wedding here, it looks like alot of people do host weddings here. Give them a call at 440-356-4444 if you want an indoor wedding in the cabin or an outdoor wedding in the wooded area outside. I've only been here once so a 3/5 rating is fair. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 55/150 total reviews in 2024 - 705 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 6 July 2024
