Elizabeth Park
Elizabeth Park, nestled discreetly in Akron, OH, is a true gem waiting to be discovered. Tucked away on Lods St., this park shares its neighborhood with Akron's Historic Jazz site on Howard St., a place rich in musical history until 1970. Situated near the Ohio-Erie Canal & Cascade Locks Park and close to the scenic Cuyahoga Valley National Park's Scenic Valley Railway, Elizabeth Park adds a touch of tranquility to the Cascade Valley community. Bordering the Little Cuyahoga River, this park has become a focal point for the locals.
Recently, Elizabeth Park underwent a remarkable transformation, thanks to the collective efforts of residents and community members. The Akron Parks Challenge victory in 2019 secured a substantial $100K for enhancements, further boosted by an additional $30K from various organizations through grants and donations. The park now boasts a brand-new pavilion, a nature play area, and a flourishing half-acre food forest, making it a delightful retreat for nature lovers and families alike.
