The playscape was older but our toddler had fun with it- the safety features of the newer playgrounds is missing so keep a close eye on smaller kids. They also had a swing set but no bucket swings for littles and some of the swings were broken. There is a larger kids play area as well that looks like something off ninja warrior which would be fun for them to play with. They have trails, a dog park, community garden, and a splash pad which we saw but didn't use. It was a nice green space overall

I visited Roxboro Tennis courts for the first time in August 2025 for a private tennis drills class…read morewhich is similar to a tennis lesson. The instructor had the drills lesson at Roxboro tennis courts so I had no choice but to drive out here which was fine with me. It was a group session with two other people in the session plus the instructor for a total of 4 of us. The instructor, Omar, is wonderful. I met him through CSU tennis at the Medical Mutual tennis tent in downtown Cleveland. He is patient and kind. He played tennis when he was a student at CSU and still plays tennis now that he has graduated and begun his full time non-tennis related job. I had fun during tennis drills at Roxboro Tennis Courts (4/5 rating). THE TENNIS COURTS (3/5 rating) -- The nets and hard court floor conditions can be better. The Roxboro Tennis Courts are secluded unless you live in the neighbourhood. It is located in Cleveland Heights next to a middle school football field. The tennis courts are on the grounds of Roxboro Middle School but they are public courts open to use for free. The conditions of the 3 available courts are fine. During my August 2025 visit, I noticed one of the court nets was falling apart in the middle. The hard court wasn't as firm but I was able to play tennis fine. I wouldn't visit again because the courts aren't close to my apartment but these tennis courts are an okay option to have for playing tennis. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 137/250 total reviews in 2026 - 978 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 21 June 2026

Talk about a humbling experience…read more I decided to run the Cleveland Marathon because I had run the Columbus as well as the Cincinnati Flying Pig. I wanted to cap off the Ohio Triple Crown of marathons with Cleveland. Only a few more lines about non race items but I think it is important to know for out of towners considering this race. If you find a hotel in the downtown area there are plenty of places to go eat and things to see. Our hotel was semi-accommodating with late checkout but if you are a slower runner, as I ended up being, it may be a rush back to your hotel. Cleveland is a friendly and safe place. About the convention: The packet pickup was in the Cleveland Convention Center. This space was large enough and accommodating for a race of this size. There were many booths and plenty of knick knacks to pick up and try. Rite Aid sponsored a cool health checkup area that was free. You could go around and have your BP checked as well as other items. Picking up your bib was by number so you had to go to a table with a list of all the entry names and find your bib number. This was kind of strange but did not cause much of a hiccup. Shirts were all the way in the back much like any other race pickup. About the race: The race began on the west side of Quicken Loans Arena facing north. The start line is beautiful with the huge LeBron mural as a backdrop. They had the Cleveland Cavs hype man Ahmaad Crump leading the pre-race rally. Pumping up the crowd and leading what was an excited city into a time where they were getting ready for the ECF. Corrals were appropriately positioned and managed by the volunteers controlling the flow in and out. Pacers were clearly identifiable with signs attached to sticks as well as pacer shirts. There were very few clocks throughout the race. Maybe at the half and a few other spots but they were extremely sparse. For what ended up being my extremely difficult race this probably saved my life but for others shooting for PRs based on official clock time it would be nice to have more clocks. The same could be said about mile markers. I believe these were more consistent to each mile but without the clocks alongside them they seemed only half useful. Perhaps I am spoiled because Chicago is the only marathon that has a set up like it. I know everyone has a watch, phone, or timer of some sort these days but it is still comforting to know the official time if one of the other items fail. Less of a complaint and more of just a fact but the road conditions here were not ideal. At least in the downtown area potholes were all over. So as a runner you need not only be aware of the first mile ducking and diving through crowds but also the uneven pavement as to not twist an ankle. Aid stations were well placed and plenty up until the last three miles or so. Maybe it was my delirium but it felt like running down the highway for the last three miles was the worst way to finish. Aid stations were good up until this point but then they became sparse. One station ran out of Gatorade and others had only warm drinks left. They had a good amount of volunteers on bikes who were checking the wellbeing of some of the slower runners at this point. This was phenomenal. As I was one of the people they were concerned about it was certainly comforting to know that I wouldn't simply pass out on the highway by myself. The first half of the course runs through the downtown area and neighboring city limit towns. As you get out to 13+ towards the second half you are on a down and back that seems to go on forever. Again, this may be a personal gripe but I really don't like tracing back my route. It is another mental battle that you have to fight. To see mile 20 when you are approaching mile 13 is a brutal mental test. Watching the elites pass you on the right is ok but as you get to 14, 15, 16 and then realize you have to turn around to just do it again, it really can break you. I think it did break me. So if they could change the route for me that would be great but if I'm the only one then I guess I need to suck it up and be better prepared. They say this is a flat course and again I feel like a big cry baby but it did not seem that flat to me. Chicago is the true definition of flat. Cincinnati feels like climbing Mount Everest and Cleveland was somewhere in-between but closer to flat. It was wet, humid, hot and dry at different points throughout this race. The surrounding communities were supportive and volunteers/organizers were great. A relatively smaller race for what I consider a major city but still worth doing another time. Post-race goodies were plenty and I believe you were allowed one spectator to help you get through the finishers area. I don't recall as I nearly passed out but it is always nice having your loved one there to fall into their arms. Marathons are a crazy thing to do and are extremely unpredictable. You can train for months but anything can happen on any given Sunday.

One of the most organized races in the Midwest, Cleveland Marathon offers volunteers, workers and…read moreracers a very well planned weekend of competition. For the past two years I've both run the half and stayed to volunteer at the final water stop for those running the full. I worked with the staff to organize our water stop and it was seamless. They offer training, but if you're short on time they'll send you your shirts an instructions, no problem. As a runner you're able to sign up for pace teams to run with leading up to and day of race. Although i chose to train independently leading up, I did stay with a pace team day of and it definitely helped me reach my goal. At packet pick up you're able to take advantage of an expo packed with everything a runner could dream of. This year I picked up a pair of recovery flip flops and they've save my arches all summer long. You can even sign up for the pasta dinner served the night before. The coarse for the half is relatively flat and full of bands and entertainment. You hardly need music along the way. The last couple of miles are a bit rough - besides the obvious, there is little shade and its on one of the only inclines. Post race you're able to logo in and grab your chip time instantly. Then take you and your medal to the party including multiple forms of recovery hydration, snacks and music. A qualifier for Boston, Cleveland Marathon brings elite athletes from all over the country - and world, but it also welcomes first time "finishers" just the same. This was a great first half to run and I look forward to continuing to improve my time yearly.

Cleveland's North Coast Marina is a beautiful area along Lake Erie…read more The Marina is where some small boats are docked plus where there is a nice view of Lake Erie. There is also a big parking lot that is a paid lot (not free parking). I've been here many times to sit at Voinovich Bicentennial Park for events such as yoga, free violin concerts, and just to generally sit. Great spot for reading, meeting friends, or people/boat watching. I wish there was more space here to walk and bike because the area is prime real estate. I also wish they had more food options right on the Marina. Absolutely recommend. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 98/250 total reviews in 2026 - 939 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 27 May 2026

We found ourselves in one of our favorite areas of Cleveland: Coventry in Cleveland Heights. For $30 each, we tested our brain skills and thinking-out-of-the-box in Candy World.

Apparently…read morecameras were broken so puzzles that were solved didn't unlock anything (which they knew about and said "oh the camera is broken"). The person monitoring the game was very slow to respond to hint requests (which ended up being broken puzzles that we had already solved but never unlocked the next step). At one point we had to leave the room for a reset of the computer. One of the final puzzles was broken (as in impossible to solve because the answer was physically blocked by the props). Ended up losing over 20 minutes of time due to malfunctioning puzzles. No offers for discount, refund, or replay. Game and puzzles would have been good if they actually worked and the story was cute. Will not be returning unless we hear from someone that it has improved.

Went to "Wes Point Park" in downtown Willoughby, Ohio last night for the free Thursday night…read moreconcert. We really don't do a lot of these. The venues in surrounding cities aren't the most comfortable, there is usually limited refreshments available, and I always assumed the bands are just okay. Last night was a different story. In downtown Willoughby there are a multitude of establishments to get any type of refreshments you desire. The park and gazebo arrangement were very convenient and comfortable. The band was 4 young men that go by the name of "Burning River". I must say, I was very pleasantly surprised. Their talents and skills were extraordinary. They claim to play classic rock with a modern twist. I heard classic rock played flawlessly. The singer had a great style, the drummer was great, the bass player was right on it, and the lead guitar was exceptional!. He played every lick Jimmy Page ever did and nailed them all. I was astounded. We just might have to check a few more of these out.
