INDOOR TENNIS (1/5 rating) -- I recently visited in January 2025 with a new friend. It is $36 to rent a court for an hour. Upon entering, I realized that the facility needs some serious repair, mainly the roof that is tearing apart. The roof of the indoor tennis courts is degrading fast. Pieces of the roof are falling off unto the court surfaces. Before I arrived to play tennis, my friend told me that she asked a tennis staff member if the facility plans to update and fix the room but the staff member said no. That is surprising. For safety reasons, the roof should be fixed. Management doesn't appear to care about the tennis facility and it is unclear why this is the case. Perhaps they focus all their attention on their indoor soccer facility, who knows! I won't be back to the tennis facility because soon enough, that roof may fall apart which is dangerous. **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 31/365 total reviews in 2025 - 812 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 5 February 2025

George V. Voinovich Bicentennial Park…read more This park is an absolute gem in Cleveland--peaceful, beautiful, and full of character. Voinovich Bicentennial Park sits right along Lake Erie, offering stunning panoramic views of the water. On a clear day, you're actually facing Canada, which lies just across the lake--how cool is that? Out in the water, there's a long rock barrier (part of the harbor breakwall system) that adds a coastal, serene feel to the entire landscape. When I visited, there was a live opera performance happening right in the park, which made the experience feel even more special. You can sit on the grass or along the cement steps, which makes it a great spot for a picnic, sunset-watching, or just relaxing near the water. There are often events held here, so it's worth checking the schedule if you're visiting--though honestly, just showing up might surprise you with something fun. The atmosphere is open and vibrant, but still calm and clean. You'll also find: * Boat rentals nearby if you want to get on the water * Restaurants right along the shore * Hotels with waterfront views, all within walking distance The park itself is well-maintained, clean, and has lots of visual interest, including ships docked nearby and big open views of the lake and sky. I visited in the evening, and the sunset over the water was absolutely breathtaking--a perfect end to the day. I can't wait to come back and spend more time here. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is one of those spots that makes you stop, take a deep breath, and just enjoy where you are.

I'll give this the benefit of the doubt and an extra star because of the weather. This was a short…read morewalk from the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. Street parking was free on a Saturday morning. There are restaurants nearby.

I visited Roxboro Tennis courts for the first time in August 2025 for a private tennis drills class…read morewhich is similar to a tennis lesson. The instructor had the drills lesson at Roxboro tennis courts so I had no choice but to drive out here which was fine with me. It was a group session with two other people in the session plus the instructor for a total of 4 of us. The instructor, Omar, is wonderful. I met him through CSU tennis at the Medical Mutual tennis tent in downtown Cleveland. He is patient and kind. He played tennis when he was a student at CSU and still plays tennis now that he has graduated and begun his full time non-tennis related job. I had fun during tennis drills at Roxboro Tennis Courts (4/5 rating). THE TENNIS COURTS (3/5 rating) -- The nets and hard court floor conditions can be better. The Roxboro Tennis Courts are secluded unless you live in the neighbourhood. It is located in Cleveland Heights next to a middle school football field. The tennis courts are on the grounds of Roxboro Middle School but they are public courts open to use for free. The conditions of the 3 available courts are fine. During my August 2025 visit, I noticed one of the court nets was falling apart in the middle. The hard court wasn't as firm but I was able to play tennis fine. I wouldn't visit again because the courts aren't close to my apartment but these tennis courts are an okay option to have for playing tennis. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 137/250 total reviews in 2026 - 978 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 21 June 2026

Compared to Burnham Mall park down the street, this park has alot more trees at the center of it which provides generous shade against the sun. The "FREE STAMP" here is cool and a nice structure to see. I love the pink colour that the word "FREE" is written on. This is apparently the largest rubber stamp in Cleveland...haha. It would have being nice if the City erected a plaque right next to the stamp that describes it. For a great view of Lake Erie, walk straight ahead on East 9th street until you reach Voinovich Bicentennial Park. If you visit, you can park at the Willard Park garage. **** - 29/200 total reviews in 2020 - 405 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 20 June 2020

Talk about a humbling experience…read more I decided to run the Cleveland Marathon because I had run the Columbus as well as the Cincinnati Flying Pig. I wanted to cap off the Ohio Triple Crown of marathons with Cleveland. Only a few more lines about non race items but I think it is important to know for out of towners considering this race. If you find a hotel in the downtown area there are plenty of places to go eat and things to see. Our hotel was semi-accommodating with late checkout but if you are a slower runner, as I ended up being, it may be a rush back to your hotel. Cleveland is a friendly and safe place. About the convention: The packet pickup was in the Cleveland Convention Center. This space was large enough and accommodating for a race of this size. There were many booths and plenty of knick knacks to pick up and try. Rite Aid sponsored a cool health checkup area that was free. You could go around and have your BP checked as well as other items. Picking up your bib was by number so you had to go to a table with a list of all the entry names and find your bib number. This was kind of strange but did not cause much of a hiccup. Shirts were all the way in the back much like any other race pickup. About the race: The race began on the west side of Quicken Loans Arena facing north. The start line is beautiful with the huge LeBron mural as a backdrop. They had the Cleveland Cavs hype man Ahmaad Crump leading the pre-race rally. Pumping up the crowd and leading what was an excited city into a time where they were getting ready for the ECF. Corrals were appropriately positioned and managed by the volunteers controlling the flow in and out. Pacers were clearly identifiable with signs attached to sticks as well as pacer shirts. There were very few clocks throughout the race. Maybe at the half and a few other spots but they were extremely sparse. For what ended up being my extremely difficult race this probably saved my life but for others shooting for PRs based on official clock time it would be nice to have more clocks. The same could be said about mile markers. I believe these were more consistent to each mile but without the clocks alongside them they seemed only half useful. Perhaps I am spoiled because Chicago is the only marathon that has a set up like it. I know everyone has a watch, phone, or timer of some sort these days but it is still comforting to know the official time if one of the other items fail. Less of a complaint and more of just a fact but the road conditions here were not ideal. At least in the downtown area potholes were all over. So as a runner you need not only be aware of the first mile ducking and diving through crowds but also the uneven pavement as to not twist an ankle. Aid stations were well placed and plenty up until the last three miles or so. Maybe it was my delirium but it felt like running down the highway for the last three miles was the worst way to finish. Aid stations were good up until this point but then they became sparse. One station ran out of Gatorade and others had only warm drinks left. They had a good amount of volunteers on bikes who were checking the wellbeing of some of the slower runners at this point. This was phenomenal. As I was one of the people they were concerned about it was certainly comforting to know that I wouldn't simply pass out on the highway by myself. The first half of the course runs through the downtown area and neighboring city limit towns. As you get out to 13+ towards the second half you are on a down and back that seems to go on forever. Again, this may be a personal gripe but I really don't like tracing back my route. It is another mental battle that you have to fight. To see mile 20 when you are approaching mile 13 is a brutal mental test. Watching the elites pass you on the right is ok but as you get to 14, 15, 16 and then realize you have to turn around to just do it again, it really can break you. I think it did break me. So if they could change the route for me that would be great but if I'm the only one then I guess I need to suck it up and be better prepared. They say this is a flat course and again I feel like a big cry baby but it did not seem that flat to me. Chicago is the true definition of flat. Cincinnati feels like climbing Mount Everest and Cleveland was somewhere in-between but closer to flat. It was wet, humid, hot and dry at different points throughout this race. The surrounding communities were supportive and volunteers/organizers were great. A relatively smaller race for what I consider a major city but still worth doing another time. Post-race goodies were plenty and I believe you were allowed one spectator to help you get through the finishers area. I don't recall as I nearly passed out but it is always nice having your loved one there to fall into their arms. Marathons are a crazy thing to do and are extremely unpredictable. You can train for months but anything can happen on any given Sunday.

For the past two years I've both run the half and stayed to volunteer at the final water stop for those running the full. I worked with the staff to organize our water stop and it was seamless. They offer training, but if you're short on time they'll send you your shirts an instructions, no problem. As a runner you're able to sign up for pace teams to run with leading up to and day of race. Although i chose to train independently leading up, I did stay with a pace team day of and it definitely helped me reach my goal. At packet pick up you're able to take advantage of an expo packed with everything a runner could dream of. This year I picked up a pair of recovery flip flops and they've save my arches all summer long. You can even sign up for the pasta dinner served the night before. The coarse for the half is relatively flat and full of bands and entertainment. You hardly need music along the way. The last couple of miles are a bit rough - besides the obvious, there is little shade and its on one of the only inclines. Post race you're able to logo in and grab your chip time instantly. Then take you and your medal to the party including multiple forms of recovery hydration, snacks and music. A qualifier for Boston, Cleveland Marathon brings elite athletes from all over the country - and world, but it also welcomes first time "finishers" just the same. This was a great first half to run and I look forward to continuing to improve my time yearly.

I came out almost hour early to hit the range because my drive has been off. I was told the range was closed because they had a HS tournament the next day and had no one to pick up the balls that evening. I know in 2023 it's hard to get people to work so hate to ding them too much but it was a huge inconvenience leaving lots of down time awaiting my buddy. Pace of play on front was flying. Slowed quite a bit on back put the group in front had 3 and one dropped off, we jumped in with the 2 left and they eventually left too. The TOTAL time was good so it worked out ok. Lastly, I contacted someone named Mark about outings and email list. I got one 6 letter sentence, no salutations, no closing and no follow up to my follow up to the questions. Guessing sales and customer service aren't a strong suit. Everyone else I interacted from the course throughout the day were all relatively pleasant so that's the important thing. I still will go back for sure because the condition is excellent, greens rolled nice and it's just a cool course.
