This park was well rated with a perfect prior to my tour at Castle Noel. …read more Summit Metro Parks; were clean, scenic and well maintained . Trail markers , paved trails, even a bi monthly quaterly magazine, listing all sorts of events. This was my first visit to an Ohio park to explore, and will defintly check out other locations in the near future. The vistor center staff were friendly ; the center itself was marvelous with variety of things to explore,the tree exhibit, the bird feeding area, kids area , turtles and the akorn gift shop. The gift shop shaped in a Maple leaf, in my opinion was genuis , simple addition to center for kids and nature lovers. Fall will be approaching soon; be sure to hike and enjoy the beauty of nature with exercise and fresh air.

I found this tiny park by accident and couldn't have been more smitten! Way to surprise me,…read moreCuyahoga Falls. This is a small garden with a covered rotunda and 1 stone picnic table. Pollinators (bees, butterflies, moths, etc) are an essential part of the ecosystem. They allow native plants to survive and are important in food crop production. To help fight the decline in pollinators, Cuyahoga Falls planted this butterfly garden at the entrance of High Bridge Glens Park. It has a cute, butterfly themed rod iron entryway. Again, this garden is small, but if you catch it in bloom, I imagine it's magical. I did spot a baby monarch and that made me so happy! I loved the two signs on the property explaining what types of butterflies and flowers you might see. This would be a wonderful place to bring kids and help instill an appreciation for protecting nature. However, because this spot is small, keep that in mind during the pandemic, as it's not a space I'd care to share with anyone at all. I want to live in a world where our pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies, aren't at such a high risk of extinction. Great job to the City of Cuyahoga Falls!

In practice, it is a bit rough with the traffic constantly and noisily whizzing by. Some plots were under construction when I stopped by, but more importantly, I was quite perplexed with the choice of cultures, which was heavily tilted towards Eastern Europe (are there a lot of Latvian and Azerbaijani immigrants to Cleveland?), but with other seemingly random countries occasionally making an appearance, such as Ethiopia and India. They have a Hebrew cultural garden with plaques of famous American Jews. Their Ukrainian section was dotted with extra accoutrements including blue and yellow stones by local schoolchildren, which didn't really strike me as being appropriate or helpful. The Ethiopian section was a surprising standout with its artistic display, while other sections focused on sculpture art or plaques. The amount of actual plant life native to the nominated region was in many cases minimal, but each plot was its own different endeavor. Walking the whole length of the path from the museum center to the waterfront was considerably longer than it appeared on the map, so I did only part of that.

These gardens are really a unique place on the east side of Cleveland. I feel as if not many people…read morehave gotten out of their cars to visit because parking around here is difficult. I have driven past here so many times on my way to Case Western Reserve University law school, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and also the Natural History Museum. I got to finally explore these gardens (somewhat) when I met with a running group here on the Independence Day holiday (4 July 2019). I really have to come back to walk through the gardens because running past them didn't give me time to explore. GARDENS -- There are over 25 cultural gardens each for a particular country; for example, India or Ireland. The best way to see the gardens is by walking. You really have to get out of your car to explore the gardens further especially since some of them go deep inside along the trees. PARKING -- The gardens are situated on a very long Martin Luther King Drive street; hence, that's why there is no where to park. I suggest parking at the boat dock along Lake Erie and then walking through the gardens. I love the little lake here. There are benches surrounding the lake so can sit and take in the sights. **** - 161 total reviews in 2019 - 370 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 15 December 2019
