Cascade Park

"This time of year is so beautiful in the park. Lots of history here"

"The family and I have visited this park a few times over the years and got to see it flourish and continue to develop into an amazing walking park! There is plenty of seating and more than enough parking spaces. This little park is one of many along the Ohio and Erie Canal where you can see the old unused lock systems. You can actually see and walk over one of the old locks. It is situated right in the middle of the Cuyahoga Valley approximately one block from Akron's downtown district. In fact if you walk all the way through this park you will end up walking over the Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway and right into Downtown. The park is actually part of the Ohio Erie Canal Towpath Trail which goes all the way to Cleveland!. This is one of easily 100 parks located within the Cuyahoga Valley. The valley itself also stretches from Akron all the way to Cleveland too! Many many things to see. It would take literally days to see every park so if your from out of state or country definitely plan ahead."

"Beautiful rainy day. It was perfect out and the canal was heavy from the rain also found some lush black berry bushes too."

"This place was a great find while exploring Akron. A lot of history to read about. The canal is still in exceptional shape given the age. The store/museum was interesting and had a staff of two to answer any questions and they were very friendly. There are restrooms available. There is also a bike repair stand since this is located in a bike trail. Would definitely stop here again next trip to Akron."

"First time here and absolutely loved it. So peaceful. I don't get out in nature by myself as much as I'd like to and it was a perfect setting for a lazy lunch walk. The trail, park and parking lot were very clean."
