About the Park
Re-done and improved in 2021, the city of North Royalton put a lot of time and money into major improvements. The refreshing look is fun for the entire family as the playground remains the feature, however the fishing pond and paved walking trail give the adults a reason to get excited as well.
Access to the Park
It is located right behind the North Royalton City Hall. It has multiple locations to park and a ton of room. It is also not far at all from Royalton Rd and easy to find. It is about a 15-minute drive from Interstate 71 however. One small issue is that, no matter where you park, you’re walking up a decent sized hill to get to the main area. If you want to watch a baseball game, get ready for another mini hill to scale.

Best part of the Park
With the playground always being the focal point of any park, this one is cannot miss! It has something for toddlers and pre-teens alike, and every age in between for that matter. The only drawback is the structure near the playground is not level, so if it does rain, you maybe dealing with puddles for days on end.
