Nice clear walkways, less graffiti than surrounding parks. Awesome open air stage. Only negative thing was along the stone wall by the swing with sand under it was a lot of broken glass. Like more than i expected at a park in kenmore lol. I live here so i can say that! Well 1.8m from the park. I picked it up and hope they have some type of event utilizing that stage before the year is up.

This is a nice little park. My dog loves it. I go here a lot. Most days it is quiet. They have a Frisbee golf course. There's a shelter with picnic tables and a couple grills. There is a great little area for kids to play. The kids can swing, climb, and there is a sliding board etc. You can rent the shelter for birthday parties or other events and they will turn the power on for you. There is an amphitheater. The Park is old but it's well kept. In the summer they also have a porta-john and a large trash can. Sometimes kids come and litter in the parking lot. Over all, it is kind of like an undiscovered Park that is worth checking out.

What a great hidden gem!! I was beginning to think this little part of Akron (kenmore) had not one swing set or park. Then I found this park and these swings are amazing. I definitely recommend visiting this one. Very clean picnic area and several porta-potties in the park.

Super quiet when we went on a Monday, cool playground with a few novel items. The rating is for the disc golf course though, no tee pads, no maps, some baskets had a number scrawled on them , sometimes you would see a number and a line written on a path to indicate a starting place. With just a little effort could be a good little beginners course.

Overall sketchy atmosphere. Went here for disc golf and not worth it. Overgrown glass and trash are found throughout the park. We saw used condoms, bottles of piss, and dog poop throughout the park. City of Akron needs to do better.
