There are plenty of places for the kids to run around and hide. The playground has a small area for toddlers to play including a "sandbox" area. There is a shaded shelter for parents to hang out.

There's everything from a pirate ship, sandboxes, & slides to houses your child(s) can play hide & seek in. The entire ground is covered is bouncy, soft green rubber so no worries about dirt & rocks. There is also a paved trail but where it leads to & the length I'm unsure of. It's actually really beautiful as you are far away from the main road, surrounded by woodlands and big open fields. There are also bathrooms (NOT the tiny/smelly porta potties) and a garden. You can walk through the gardens but cannot pick anything, as people pay to use the land- which is an awesome idea since most of Ravennas properties are really run down of have very small yards. They even have a compost pile! The entire park itself was incredibly clean and well maintained. You could easily bring your child here as an infant & continue to do so through age 12/13. There is also a nice pavilion you can enjoy a picnic in (can't recall if it has any grills; sorry). *** This park is NOT pet friendly!!!

I live near this park and have been using it for over 60 years. Here is some updated information:…read moreSwimming is no longer allowed. (for humans) Dogs can swim on Thursdays only. There is no charge to get in. The paved road around the lake has been split into a one-way driving/biking road and a with an adjacent walking lane. There is a Hike/bike trail called The Freedom Trail that borders this park. Metro Parks Summit County is going to add a connector trail between them in 2026. The Freedom Trail in this area is a rail trail, so it is pretty flat. There is an area called Tallmadge Meadows that to me is a separate park, because the two areas have very different prior ownership and history, but Metro Parks considers them to be the same park. The parking for Tallmadge Meadows is right around the corner from South River Rd. on South Main St. (Rt 91). There is also a trailhead in Munroe Falls for the Summit County Bike and Hike Trail. It is about a ¼ mile North of South River Rd and runs along the Cuyahoga River. I used to be a Firefighter/EMT in Munroe Falls and it was not unusual for us to get called out to the "Metro Park" and have to ask, "which one"? All 3 of these are great parks and I consider myself luck to live in between them.

Yet, once you find this hidden patch of Earth (a rarity in the overly congested & ugly Tallmadge) you won't be disappointed. Although there aren't any paths running through the park itself, it sits directly next to the paved tow path that connects to Freedom Trail all the way down to Tannery Park in Kent. This park, however, offers large, lushes fields to do as you please. From baseball to 2/3 playgrounds, a large hall (with kitchen) for rentals & multiple pavilions it is a spacious, clean & secluded place to have an event or go for a walk. If you own a dog who has some behavioral issues, I recommend coming here as there's more than enough space to avoid other dog owners. Another nice characteristic is that there is parking directly next to the hall & a few of the shelter houses (if you access them through the housing development that hugs the side of the property) which makes setting up easy. There are also a number of bathrooms and grills for cookouts as well.

We immediately went to the park, and my kids had an absolute blast. They're 3 and 1, but I saw plenty of older kids having fun as well. We checked out the lake, which was super pretty (watch out for goose poop!). I noticed some people fishing, and it looked like there were canoes around too! We then decided to have some lunch. There are plenty of picnic tables, so finding a spot to sit is not a problem. We ended the visit with one more trip to the park and then left. My kids were EXHAUSTED afterward, and I always appreciate a place that can tire them out. I'd like to visit again on a solo trip and walk a few miles around the lake next time!

The trail is mainly concrete at the onset, so this can be a little harder on your feet. What I enjoy most, is watching happy dogs, walking the trail with their owners! People are very friendly here and will say hello. This park is connected to a beautiful town, where people are that friendly, so don't be alarmed! On a Sunday afternoon, you will find lots of runners passing you and bicycles too, so just be careful and stay to the right.

The space is set very nicely - with areas for parents to sit that are shady or sunny. The activities are impressive, as the little (big) buildings for the kids to play in really allow for them to use their imaginations to play. Great to see a playground have both the physical activities and imagination type of activities. We really enjoyed it and will return when we're in the area again. The only negative, which doesn't really reduce my rating at all, nor does it keep the kids from having fun, is the fact that some areas do need some repair work. This is why it's important to leave a donation on your way out, if you're able. Hopefully this park can be maintained for years to come!

What an awesome place to kayak! There are so many coves to paddle through. I enjoy the coves as it is quiet and peaceful and I can sit back in the shade and read my book and eat my snacks. My husband loves this place as he loves to fish and he has been doing pretty well catching fish in the kayak. We have an enjoyable time every time that we are on this lake. Actually this is our favorite spot so far. We have explored so much of this lake but it is so big that it will take us a long time to explore the rest of it and we are totally fine with it. We can't wait to get back on this lake and kayak around. Hmmm maybe today haha!!
