by Before we get to the list, here is an urgent message for parents of Rocky River athletes who don’t like having to pay to read about their own children.
When I created Kee On Sports in 2018, my biggest goal was to create a company that covered as many schools as possible. At the same time, NEVER charging the parents or student body to read about their student athletes. I figured if I got a small business in each city there was a school to sponsor the website, it would never be a problem. For 39 cities, that exact concept has worked perfectly and we’ve been able to afford to keep the coverage free of charge. Sadly, Rocky River has not been one of those 39 cities.
In the six years of coverage, Rocky River has been one of our staple schools as we have covered every single football game since 2018, and a host of basketball and lacrosse games as well. Each time, at no cost so everyone could enjoy it.
Sadly, in the six years we have covered River High School athletics, we have received zero sponsorship support from local Rocky River companies. That being said, for six years Kee On Sports has spent thousands of dollars to cover River athletics with written content, photos and even live broadcasts of games with zero financial support to do so from Rocky River commerce.
We truly don’t want to charge anyone, we hate the thought of that, but at this point, we have no choice if we do not start getting Rocky River companies in the door to help pay for that coverage with advertising dollars.
Again, we want to keep it free! We don’t want that to end, and we don’t want to charge a single parent, alumni, classmate or ANYONE behind a ridiculous paywall like other sites and newsprints do. We want to keep it free for you. We cannot however without an Rocky River business helping out.
Or, if we get enough donations in the name of River athletic coverage that would match the cost of a sponsorship. Thus, there is still time to avoid this drastic measure from taking place. If you would like to help our coverage of River athletics avoid being placed behind a paywall, you can donate at the below link.
Thank you.

And now, here is the promised list!
Number 7
Morley Park
Location
Morley Ave, Rocky River, OH 44116
About the park
It is easily one of the most colorful parks in Rocky River. It is tiny, with only one play set and a basketball court, but still provides plenty of chances to have fun while visiting. It is what we in the business of park reviews refer to as a “backyard park”. Meaning, you can see plenty of backyards while you are there and at the same time, feel like you yourself are in a backyard.
Access to the park
This is a rough bit of material here as you have to park on a side street and that street is very tiny, so not a lot of options or actual parking lot. One of the few negatives about this park.
Things to do
2 small slides
2 big slides with a slight twist
Spiny Globe thing
Swings – 4 regular, 1 baby, 1 handicapped
Rockwall
Basketball Court
Step Ladder
A cool blue and green color scheme
Monkey Rings
Places to sit
There is not much a selection here as it does have a nice pavilion with four wooden tables, however if you are planning on a cookout, don’t as there is no grill. Also, don’t make the mistake of sitting in the grass by the playground as I did, as I in less than 5 minutes the entire cast of, “It’s a Bugs Life” assembled on my leg for dinner.
Ground
It is a beautiful mulch mix.
Bathroom situation
None to speak of, unless one of those people in the houses allow you to stop over for a brief spell.
Best part of the park
The color scheme was a nice switch from the standard Brown and Green of most parks.
