I hadn't been aware of this facility before, and was looking for something to do on Saturday while…read moreI was in town with my two young children. What a find! We'll absolutely be back. The Exploration Gateway is off of 12th St and right on Sippo Lake. They have a nature center, gift shop, several meeting rooms where they host special events, and a branch of the Stark County Library. There are several short trails branching off from the building and parking lots, at least some of which are stroller friendly. There is also a small playground.

You can fish from the pier or the edge of the lake. Just throw a line in!!!! There are paddle boats, a clubhouse, boat dock, and easy pathways for walking. Parking was close and seemed plentiful. When we are in the area again I would love to spend more time at this lake and enjoy Mother Nature at her finest.

I can hike, bike, fish, and kayak all in one place! There are three entrances to the park with…read moretrails around all of them. Pretty cool to be tucked right around neighborhoods and main roads.

North Park is a nice place to spend an afternoon. There's a little something for everyone here…read more This part features (from their website): a picnic shelter, restrooms, fully- accessible playground, 1.1 mile paved walking track, seven athletic fields used for baseball, softball, soccer and lacrosse, a multi-use track used for skating and bicycling, seven ballfields, six tennis courts, four basketball courts and two sand volleyball courts. I like to walk a few laps around the track when the weather permits. There's usually a few others on the path as well, but it's never been too crowded. One bad thing about the track is there seems to be a lot of goose poop near the pond. I've also shot some hoops on the court before. It gets super busy on the weekends, so you might want to think about going somewhere else unless you're trying to get in on a pickup game. The rims are very stiff as well which doesn't make it very fun. Find a way to get rid of the geese (or at least the poop) and add a fenced in dog park, and this place would get another star.

This is a set of two basic parking lots with a handful of spaces, catty cornered across the street…read morefrom each other, that serve the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath, and the Olde Muskingum Trail, which runs parallel to the towpath for a few miles (some runners use both trails as a loop). There are no restrooms or porta potties here, but the main Canal Fulton parking for the trail, a couple miles north at St. Helena Park, has porta potties. There are also restrooms in restaurants/businesses in downtown Canal Fulton. This trailhead, along with the one at Lock 4, are good overflow/less busy parking options from St. Helena Park.

They had two courts going at once and ample seating to watch your child do what they love. Vending machines and a make shift concession area with somewhat limited options made for a good experience.

Nice little amenity for those who live in that area to have access to.

When we arrived we were treated poorly, disrespected, and then eventually told to leave. We were being completely respectful and were not in anyone's way. But we were told we had "6 complaints about us" and also that our outfits were inappropriate (we had on a basketball jersey and basketball shorts.) It was clearly a racial issue, and that was very obvious. Very sad that we had to deal with being treated that way at a recreational center.
