Very well kept relaxing reserve with small trails and a small lake with 2 fishing docks, allowing you to walk around and enjoy the water and wildlife. Recommended for dog lovers, small or large groups, families, and if you're alone and just want to clear your...Read More
Very large and spacious, super clean.Perhaps I didn't see it but all i saw were portapotties.Very dog friendly, especially the lake area. Has watering spots.Very large and spacious area with up to 4 fire and grilling stations, and more than 8 picnic table areas sheltered. Pretty popular so reserve or scout way in advance.

Our first time visiting was for the Nature at Night event and it was phenomenal. The staff and volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable. The marsh and pond was my favorite, but my children really enjoyed the Nature Center, Nature Shop and the trails. We didn’t...Read More

I thoroughly enjoyed exploring this park. It is lush with flora and wildlife. It was so peaceful. I stopped by the pond and saw a water snake and a turtle or two. There are well-kept walking trails, a fishing hole and a lot of picnic...Read More

Really beautiful park with expansive trails of all types of terrain. Something for everyone and the pavilions and activity areas are kept up really well. As a somewhat experienced hiker, I will say that it was sometimes difficult to locate and follow the signs. Occasionally...Read More

Beautiful park with nice paved paths, lots of shade, and plenty of animal and plant diversity. I love that they let so much of the park be natural without letting it get overgrown or unkempt.
Lots of different child friendly areas like the beaver damn, and giant snake, as well as your traditional playground areasLots of options in the shade

One of my favorite Metroparks. The trails are easy to walk, and both Squire’s Castle and the Nature Center nearby are great spots to explore. Just a heads-up, since the castle is also used as a wedding venue it can feel a little awkward to...Read More

Absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful wetlands, well maintained and accessible trails. Plenty of parking. Bike racks, trash cans, all the amenities with a wonderful nature center. I work at nature centers in Baltimore and campuses aren't even in the same league. A great representation of Clevelands ecosystems.
