Lion's Park

Kids love to go crawfish hunting here. Sad that they catch lots of garbage when they go but I'm proud of them for helping the planet by throwing it in the trash where it belongs.

Me and My kids and dog discovered this park today and we very much enjoyed it!!

A very pretty park with shaded walking paths. It is not ideal for people with low mobility even with mobility tools as the entrance to the trails are very steep hills and stairs. I haven't gotten very far on the trail so far but it seems lovely. You can kind of see houses around the area so it's a good idea to be fairly quiet as you hike.

The grounds are well kept and the paths are naturally paved so good grippy shoes are a matter of safety.

I didn't see any facilities though so use the bathroom before you head out lol

They seem dog friendly and even provide dog poo bags at the entrance.

Lions Park won a grant from Akron Parks' Challenge and looks much different now than the overgrown field it used to be. I love how secluded it feels and the hiking trail it leads to is nice as well. It's usually very clean and kept clear of debris. It leads to Hyre Middle School where there's is a children's park, tennis courts, and football fields with some picnic tables. The crushed gravel track around the field area is nice for walking, especially with a stroller and they've added workout stations. There's still more updates coming to the hiking trail, but I'm not sure what those are yet.

Trains are resurfaced and I saw 5 deer just before sundown.

So unexpectedly beautiful

Great for fireworks I like them off there all the time

Great clean upkept park great play area

I met my future husband there, and we got hitched!

Nice walking trail.
