Reviews
"The nature center itself was closed (new Year) but you still could walk around part of the lake. Lot of history once was a pumping station for the Goodyear plant and also amusement park."
"This is a great nature center with friendly staff & the Towpath nearby. Parking lot is large, restrooms are clean & the outdoor garden is very cool."
"As far as shore fishing goes, I've caught bigger bluegills here then portage lakes and all the other spots around. Plenty of fish and wild life to take your kids to see or go see yourself. Also don't fot get the bike trail everyone is having a blast on."
"We took our inflatable kayak and raft out on the lake. It was so pretty and peaceful that I almost forgot we lived in the city for a moment. The staff in the nature center were super friendly and very informative about the wildlife and surrounding area. Definitely will be back!!"
"What a fantastic place to visit and learn about the Summit Lake area as well as the plants and animals that call this place home! The building was a former pump house owned by the City of Akron. They donated the building to the Summit County Metroparks and they have done a fantastic job of converting a building that an eyesore along the towpath to a place that is inviting and educational. Inside are exhibits of the plants an animals as well as information about the history of the building and the surrounding area (Formerly Summit Lake Park). Upstairs is a room that can be used for educational purposes and provides a great view of the lake and area. Out side is a community garden and some exhibits of the pumps that used to be inside the building. There is plenty of parking. But the building sits right next to the bike path. So you can easily enjoy the nature center while exploring the bike path. Definitely worth a visit."
