Best places: Tourist attractions in Akron, United States

👍👍 Hands down one of the best walking, garden, and scenery parks in Ohio! Today as I was meditating sitting on a rock; I started to cry.

👍👍 Kids always love to come here.

👍👍 The facilities were nice. Comfortable temperatures and the area surrounding the facilities were well kept. Walkways were free of debris. I would recommend this to others. One note, Google maps has you turn left about 150 yards too soon. Have to continue up the road a wee bit.

👍👍 Moving experience. Worth the drive.

👍👍 Love this entrance to the Towpath. If you go left (facing the trail from the parking lot), there is a really nice place to sit and listen to/watch the river that is a little over a mile from the trailhead.
