The crown jewel being their Liberty Playground which is great for toddlers to preteens.

The walking areas connecting all the above to independence branch of Cuyahoga County Public Library are paved with lush green grass and colorful floral arrangements with a lot of attention owing laid to landscaping. The Elmwood pond within the grounds of the park is a serene place to sit by. I've had the pleasure of visiting there many times with family, a generation up and also a generation down. We all love sitting there, chatting, snacking,in a peaceful environment in awe of the ducks, geese and if we're lucky, seeing the blue herons that come by there.

What a great opportunity for them. Everything here is free and schedules are not only posted at the facility, but also online.

I was in the area from Pittsburgh and was looking for an outdoor activity for my 7 year old. Found…read morethis playground online and really loved that it was made for kids of all abilities. The space is set very nicely - with areas for parents to sit that are shady or sunny. The activities are impressive, as the little (big) buildings for the kids to play in really allow for them to use their imaginations to play. Great to see a playground have both the physical activities and imagination type of activities. We really enjoyed it and will return when we're in the area again. The only negative, which doesn't really reduce my rating at all, nor does it keep the kids from having fun, is the fact that some areas do need some repair work. This is why it's important to leave a donation on your way out, if you're able. Hopefully this park can be maintained for years to come!

During Covid days we are all looking for a safe , serene environment where we can participate in healthy outdoor activities . Dave Barr and his staff has created such an environment . The outdoor facilities ( pools, tennis etc) are in the best condition I've seen in many years. Everything is updated and fresh. The indoor facilities have also undergone an amazing transformation with new decor in the community rooms and top of the line indoor tennis, and fitness . Thanks Dave for all you've done !

This is a great facility for families, especially ones with young kids. Although the facility needs…read moremajor updating, it is a hot spot for tennis, offering a handful of classes and lessons for all ages. I joined for the pool and unfortunately it is filled a lot with kids making it harder to swim laps and decent times, including after work since the high school practices then, but overall I truly think if a family is looking for a place to play tennis, have fun with the community, and have the kids burn energy, this is your place! Highly recommend it!

She is an only child and TLG allows her to have great socialization with different babies her age while they work on a variety of skills. I have truly seen my girl grow in confidence with how her body moves, as well as with interpersonal relationships like you wouldn't believe. She is so outgoing now, with both the other children as well as adults. Learning some of the activities in class has also helped guide us for some activities at home as well to encourage walking, balance, etc. The teachers/ coaches are all incredible with the children, they never force them to do anything and always work with the child's buy-in of whatever the activity is. The entire staff is so friendly and open, you really feel like you're a part of the family. My girl especially loves teacher Evan! The space is also large (and very clean!) with a wide variety of equipment for children to explore as well as for teaching different skills. We are so happy to have found TLG Shaker Heights!
