For a community recreation center, City of Solon does the trick…read more Could the locker rooms and restrooms be a little cleaner? Sure. But for as long as their will be packs of teenagers in the community and local athletes training here, its probably going to be a little messy...and I think the other kids who work here do the best they can to keep those areas clean and nice. That's a vicious cycle of teenage messiness. If you're looking for a basic place to work out, the Solon Rec is the best option in the area. The first floor has a rock wall, weights, gymnasium and indoor/outdoor pool, while the second floor has machines, a track and a private exercise room. There's also a Senior Center downstairs, as well as kid programming that occurs. There's plenty of windows and natural light, which I appreciate. I've also never waited for a machine, particularly a treadmill or elliptical, and there's a decent wi-fi connect to stream music or check emails. The whole concept is open and spacious, which is a welcome reprise from gyms with wacky colors and super bright lights that just stress me out. I've also never had an issue finding a parking spot, so extra points there. In the summer, the outdoor pool gets pretty packed. This seems to be the hot seller here. But if you're just looking for a casual place to workout, I highly recommend the rec center for all your treadmill needs. The City is lucky to have such a modern facility!

Chagrin Falls is an absolute treasure. A gem.

Ringed by wonderful stores and restaurants, it is a wonderful slice of Americana.

Chagrin Falls is one of those quaint little american towns with the iconic colorful local shops,…read morefamily run restaurants, kid-friendly parks, and even a gazebo in the town center! It's the picture perfect representation of Americana. Expect I personally think it's all fake. I have a like/hate relationship with the Falls. It feels too commercialized to be real, like the town it capitalizing on the small american lifestyle without actually being "small America". Maybe I've seen Pleasantville one too many times but this place just seems off. The stores aren't actually local, the restaurants aren't really run by families, the Starbucks is the most frequented stop, and unless you're making a hefty yearly salary, you just feel unwelcome. Or at least that's how I feel when I'm here. One time I had my NPR bumper sticker stolen off my car here. Now I don't know about you, but I don't think they wanted it for themselves. It was more like they didn't want that kind of riffraff in their town. Also, (this is the last thing I swear) no public transportation runs through Chagrin Falls. I have written to town hall about this because I think 1: it's discriminatory and 2: it's terrible marketing. Take it as you will, I'm just not a fan.
