This is my favorite mountain bike trail, so far…read more As of April, 2012, there were two new mountain bike trails built in the Strongsville Metroparks Reservation just south of Route 82. Royalview is located off the main road in the park. It's not a challenging trail by CAMBA standards, but it is a fun, fast trail that you can maintain a lot of speed on. You won't need a full suspension bike for these trails, but it's always nice to have. I would definitely recommend a front suspension system, however. The two new trails are in great condition. One is yellow (novice) and one is red (intermediate). I don't think either trail is particularly challenging in terms of difficulty of obstacles (there really are none), but the red trail will definitely give you more of a workout. I believe, combined, the trails stretch approximately nine miles. I am adding this review to my list of mountain bike trails around Cleveland, so feel free to browse.

Monkey run on a quiet weekday and just listened to the trees rustling in the wind. Scored a saved-the-day-toilet 3 miles out. Park Ranger on patrol made me feel safe.

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!

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.

You can hear her continually say "oh how beautiful". Just being a witness to how alive she becomes here makes me very happy. They work very hard weeding the grounds and it's hard work. In this trip we met one of the seasonal workers. She collected our entry fee of $5 each and asked us if we have visited in the past. Very nice young person. They are looking for volunteers and it would be s nice place for someone to de-stress and get their hands a little dirty. Also, gardening does burn calories. Every season you will see new plants and flowers coming up. It's not your perfectly polished garden, but it's your rough work in progress labor of love. You will always see the groundskeepers, seasonal workers and volunteers working hard there.

Wow. What a hidden gem. This place is gorgeous…read more I recently visited the Strongsville Gardenview Horticultural Park and was blown away by its beauty and tranquility. The park is well-maintained and the variety of plants and flowers is truly stunning. I enjoyed walking through the different gardens, each with its own unique character and charm. They just opened on April 1st for the season so not everything was in bloom (obviously) but my minds eye could imagine if. What impressed me the most was the attention to detail and the dedication of the staff to ensure that everything was in pristine condition. I could tell that they take great pride in their work and it definitely shows. Overall, I highly recommend visiting the Strongsville Gardenview Horticultural Park. It's a peaceful oasis in the middle of the city and a true gem for nature lovers. Five stars all around!

We decided to go last minute and it was past 2 pm when we tried to reserve tickets (it wouldn't let us). We decided to call the park website and the employee helping me was able to put my name down for the last few slots at 3 pm. That was very kind of them. You are required to wear gloves when you go down on the toboggan (probably to protect your fingers from the cold since you are required to grip ropes). There are a number of stairs you have to climb to get to the top. There were a good amount of people there and we probably needed to wait 15 minutes each time to ride, but the line got shorter as it got closer to closing time. They didn't allow people to enter the line past 4:45 pm since it closes at 5 pm. It was $15 per person but so worth it! What a fun and unique experience. I got to go with my 66 year old dad, my 33 year old sister, and my 18 year old brother as the toboggan sits up to 4. With this many big people on, it made the toboggan go pretty fast! There's a speedometer that calculates your speed for you. It's a little scary but thrilling! Follow the employee's instructions. We even got to race each other because there are 2 chutes. Our respective employees each tried to give our team boosts (my employee hurried to let us out first while the other employee pushed my brother and dad a bit for them to catch up). Would definitely come here again!

Lots of fun! My son bashed his finger on the last run so keep those straps held high and hold on…read moretight! I recommend booking the first reservations because the line got longer and longer but the waits weren't too bad.
