I love this park. Actually, can we pretend I hate it so you don't all go there? :)…read more It's a very popular location to watch the sun set over the lake. There's walking paths, well paved and maintained, LOTS of benches in different locations, a really cool play area, and a little sand strip. The signs say no swimming, but there's usually someone in the water - there's no life guard, and you can sit on the big rocks or directly on the sand. Parking is a bit tricky. There are maybe 2 dozen spots in the park, and no street parking directly outside, so you may have to circle a few times or walk a few blocks in if it's busy. My dog loves it here. There's plenty to sniff, and she's usually guaranteed a dead fish or two to hunt for (Mom does not approve this activity).

I'm from the east side, and for years I've driven over the bridges telling myself, "One day I'm…read moregoing to stop and wander through that park." I'm so happy I finally did. Now I already know I'll be back, because we only explored part of it -- but what my sister, her pup, and I wandered through was fun, peaceful, and a little adventurous. At one point there was literally a giant mallard just standing in the middle of the woods like he owned the place. And then there were stairs that climb straight up the side of the mountain -- okay, hill -- but it felt like a mountain in the best way. The whole walk made me feel free. If you ever find yourself wanting a moment outside, a breath of fresh air, or just a place to wander, stop here. It's worth it.

Rocky River Reservation is so pretty. There are many trails and walking paths in this park. They…read morehave a popular nature center as well. The park has plenty of parking, depending on what area you would like to explore. There is a golf course and multiple areas for fishing. You can also take your kayak and kayak the emerald necklace. Very pretty during the fall. I recommend bringing a picnic to one of the many picnic areas or sitting on one of the many benches throughout the park and enjoying mother nature.

Where to start... Growing up in NE Ohio we were lucky to have the Metroparks. I didnt realize how…read morelucky until traveling more, a lot of places dont have a place so accessible to them. Middle school we would ride our bikes there at 7-8am. Ride around there all day. Catching river roaches, toads, fishing, swimming. There was a rope we would swing off of into the murky, foamy water. What doesnt kill you.. and whatever else we conjured up to cause chaos that day. High school, it served a different purpose. Valley cruises whenever possible. Nowadays I just walk the trails and reminisce. In closing, I absolutely love this place and am very grateful we have this gorgeous slice of heaven in our backyards.

I visited this small hidden park on a Sunday evening and I found it to be a peaceful place. Hidden…read morein that it's not off of a main road, but instead off a cul de sac back behind houses and it appears it's mostly used by near by locals.They have a paved walking track that encircles the park; it's probably a 1/3 of a mile? There is also a playground, basketball court, soccer field, and grass filled baseball diamond. Nothing fancy, but the grounds seem to be well kept, although probably not highly used. There are a couple parking spots, a picnic shelter and a restroom. My only disappointment was that the water fountain did not work. Typical park rules like open from dawn to dusk, pets on a leash, pick up your dog poo, and no alcohol. I would definitely visit this park again, especially if I'm looking for a quiet place to walk.

Had a great time here! What a clean beautiful park! Walking path and a HUGE field to run. Not to…read moremention baseball fields and a climbing hill, ziplines. It truly is a great place for the whole family. Porta potties available. Restrooms available for those who have clubhouse access.

One thing I absolutely love about Westlake, no matter the direction there's green space. Decided to…read morepass by this cool space to get by the water, trees, and still be in the community. If you've not been I highly recommend it. There's a walking trail, an amazing pond, and other amenities on the other side of the park (water slide, baseball fields, etc). It's definitely a destination (and a vibe)!!

Lake Erie is at our fingertips and with the steps and picnic spaces right next to the parking lot it's easy to enjoy nature in our backyard, I love that we can ride our bikes, take a 5 minute drive or run 4 miles to get here, it's almost too easy to take for granted.

(I think some people part at the little convenient store next door) I went on a weekday and it was a little packed but not too bad!! Idk what the weekends are like, but I imagine it could be hard to find a spot! Everyone seemed in a good mood and there was a cute old lady selling crocheted things! I will definitely be back (:

Looks as though there is playground for younger kids and one for older kids. There are also bocce courts, an area for horseshoes and 2 nice-sized covered pavilions (connected with a fireplace which would be amazing in the fall). A few baseball fields are right next to the area as well.
