We always enjoy this park. We love to walk the loop path with our dog. They have a couple of different ponds...one of them is specifically just for ages 15 and younger to fish in! Very nice touch! Theres also a bridge you can stand on and feed the little birds right out of your hands.* PRO TIP: The best time of year to feed the birds is late summer and fall... they tend to get a little wild over the winter so in the spring time you need to be patient and get them tame again!

I love, love, love this park. The trails are fairly short but they all intersect at some point or another so you can make your hike however long you want. Theres lots of shaded paths. The kids will love the turtle pond.

Parked in the lot up from turtle pond. Shelter was busy 2 different groups used it while we hiked. Took the heron trail only a 1.1miles. Most of it from the main bridge was all raised boardwalk. It is impassable when the water is high. Trails splits at the bigger bridge ways. To the right all hiking trail on dirt.. look for the natural occurring coal seam that used to be mined.. walk straight the hike turns into mostly high wooden boardwalk 2 people wide The boardwalk comes out at the meadow. THE Park ranger enforced the one way walking by parking his truck on the path near the lake. So, once started we had to go one way. The colors are changing on the trees. Nice hike. There were a lot of people out that Sat. Nobody was wearing a mask this Saturday mornin.

What a great park! Beautiful to hike, part of the Fall Hiking Spree. Check out the free kids fishing lake, no licenses required! We also saw turtles, fish, a big woodchuck and a giant toad. Lots of wildlife. The Tuscarawas River is beautiful and the trail follows it.

Very simple trail, mostly flat, with some slight inclines. If youre looking for a challenge, this trail wont be for you. Good for weekend strolls with the family, or just a short adventure to clear your mind.

Such a nice park. Its well kept. Trails are clearly marked. Usually a busy place which is good in my mind. I feel safer.

Wonderful park with a couple of loop trails. Summit Co Metroparks are such a treasure to enjoy. Lots of birds to watch and the trails follow a lot of water.

Beautiful here in every season! Trails are well maintained and well marked. I was a happy hiker!

Always a fantastic place to hike! Easy to medium trails with gorgeous views.

It was a nice walk for me and my dog trees could have could have been pulled out of the creek

Great place for exercise. We walked the Red Wing Trail for 1.1 miles.

Another beautiful Summit County Metropark

Awesome place for the kiddos! Turtles galore at little turtle pond! Decent walking or running trails with a lot of beautiful forest surrounding them. Highly recommend bringing the kids here to fish and enjoy the wildlife.

Peace and quiet is here. Walking trails are good. Plenty of wildlife to look out for.

Such a pretty park. Great trails, loads of birds!

Little birds land in your hand when you offer sunflower seeds. Paths are great lots of friendly people.

Well maintained and visually appealing. Bathrooms are exceptable and what one may expect at a public park. The grounds are free of debris and the trash was empty. Great place for a family outting.

The paths are really well maintained. Its not a difficult hike.

This is a fantastic hiking area. There are so many birds hiding in the bushes and brush around the river. Dirt trails and multiple small lakes.

Great open spaces and nice pond! Always a nice hike.

The Metroparks have done a really good job of helping people to socially distance on the trails including marking some trails one way only.

I grew up on these trails and love to bring newer generations to them

Great place to walk no matter the temps.

Another great Summit MetroPark! We were working on the Fall Hiking Spree and we selected the Redwing trail as we wanted to hike a trail with plenty of shade! It was a very hot (90 degrees) day and we werent prepared for a very long hike.The Tuscarawas area of Firestone MetroPark is where this trail is located. The trail is rated easy and is 1.1 miles long. It is mostly level with only one hill. In fact, if you wanted to bypass the hill you could. The hill is towards the end of the hike and instead of turning left, you could go straight and walk to the parking lot. The trail is very scenic and goes along the banks of the Tuscarawas River for a short distance. Little Turtle Pond is also along this tail. My son likes the boardwalk section the best. During the wet seasons, there is usually water under the boardwalk.The Tuscarawas area includes a shelter, sled hill and picnic areas. Most of the picnic tables are in shade. But they are spread out and some would take some walking to get to. In case you are carrying a large cooler.

Enjoyed my 5 miles. Beautiful.

Love love love this hiking trail so many paths to walk so much nature to see rare plants flowers bugs and birds all around beautiful.

Nice trails, can be congested right after work and weekends. Restrooms closed for covid.

Stroller friendly walking/running trails and surrounded by water, what could be better!

Easy walking path, plus others that are a little more difficult if you prefer. Mostly shaded.

Great place to go for an easy walk. Scenic, great to bird watch or catch some other critters at play. Ive seen several photographers here. Full loop is about 3 miles. Another path option is offered but sometimes flooded. Well maintained. Only portapotties available. Not everyone leashes their dogs.

Love both paths. Short nice walks with great trees and plants. Birds galore and even an Owl Family.

Easy parking. Walking trails were well maintained. Trails were also dry after a significant amount of rain.

Very nice place for a walk this time of year.

Beautiful path with mix of open spaces, reservoirs, woods and rivers. This metro park is a little further from the others but offers the benefit of the Tuscawarus river.

Great park with beautiful scenery! It also has a very nice pond for kids 15 and under to fish at.

One of my favorite parks in the Akron area! I love that Turtle Pond is for the young fishermen out there, adults can relax as they teach the craft! Not the parks fault, but my grandson found a booby trap of fishing line tied low across a trail so beware if you venture on one by the pond.

This is also another great park that I really liked. Although Ive been here several times over the years because when my church does something outdoors like we always use this park.

Very nice....clean bathroom..just not stocked

Great park. Loved how peaceful and beautiful it is. Lots of walk ways.

Fun trail to walk, kids can fish 15 and under

My favorite place for a walk ️

I am so great full to we are lucky enough to have these beautiful parks in our own back yard.

One of our favorite local parks! The trail is great for running or exploring. My daughters love the pond and looking for turtles and the “gigantic” fish. We always see a lot of wildlife and enjoy walking along the river too. The scenery is great!

Perfect safe beautiful spot to walk with loved ones or just walk alone and think it get some exercise..

They have some pretty nice hiking trails

This park is great all year round- the hills are a good climbing challenge in the summer or a blast to sled down in the winter. The country oaks pavilion is very well maintained and is in a beautiful setting

One of the best places in Summit county to bird watch in my opinion. There is a small lake for young kids to fish in, many walking trails and a picnic area with restrooms. A personal favorite spot.

Nice park and the hiking trails are really nice.

I dont normally follow the guided trail to avoid the canal part. Today I followed the one way signs. I passed quite a few people going the wrong way. I assume its bc there were no signs that informed park goers that was the wrong direction, and there was no way for them to see the signs that I followed, bc they dont have eyes on the back of their head.

Neil and Rocky love going hiking on the trails here

Great place to go on walks fish picnics and such

Loved it. Hung out with my Daddy

SO pretty! It was such a nice walk.

Plenty of parking, well-maintained trails and fields and picnic areas.

Great trails for bird watching, or taking your dog for a walk. Ponds to fish in and large fields.

Great place to take the kids and let them run around!!

A very well kept up Park

Love the peaceful atmosphere, the trails and the well kept grounds!

My kids got to see some many different wildlife today they had fun

Great place to hike and see birds

Just a great place to hike and hang out.

Love it here and get really great pictures

Good place to get you and your dog a good workout. Beautiful scenery!

Nice place for kids to fish...:)

Great park!! Many from the community take advantage of it. Easy access. Willow Trail is nice and wide to accommodate all the walkers, runners, strollers and dogs. Everyone on trail was friendly. Lots of picnic tables all around the open field when the shelter is full.

Beautiful, love to take my grandsons there with the dog.

This place is absolutely amazing. Great trails to walk on no matter the time of year.

Very open spaces and nice areas to sit too!

Great walking trails for the whole family

Beautiful, peaceful hiking trails. Area is well kept and friendly. Plenty of photo opportunities. Mallard ducks common, friendly, whimsical, and often found swimming under the well constructed footbridge portion of the trail over the Tuscarawas River. I would have given it five stars if they upgraded restrooms and consider trail maintenance to reduce muddy conditions, especially after a winter melt and rain. For example, elevated boardwalks, mulching, or paving some areas were would be excellent! Still worth the hike if youre in the area.

Grew up around here. Soent a lot of time here in my teens. They say you can never go home again. But this was close. Beautiful.....

Beautiful day for a hike!

Good park for a trip with the kids.

Very flooded today...

Great place to go for a run or to bring the dog. There are a lot of wide open places and a few trails through the woods. The river often floods over the North end of the trail past the pond so just check the signs as you go. The sledding hill is great in the winter! Definitely the place to be on a snowy day. The place it kept clean and mowed regularly, havent had any bad encounters with ticks or pests. I think you can fish in the reservoir as well! There are a few pavilions to rent out and a very nice/large lodge to rent. A prefect place for a big party.

One of my favorite trails in Akron! I really like how diverse the trail is and its not too long. This is one of the trails I frequent because its an easy one to do on a weekday before or after work when you dont have a ton of time.

I love this metropark. What a treasure in the Akron area! I am a birder, and it is a beautiful location to enjoy nature. The river and race draw some really cool birds, especially during spring migration. Like most parks, however, lots of people use it for different reasons, which often conflict. Ill just get a bird in my camera lens and someone will walk past with a huge dog. Or people talk loudly so the birds fly. Also, the trails arent particularly accessible for someone with walking difficulties. Overall, though, this is a great spot!

Love this trail. Go in at the small turtle pond side and walk the bird trail and you will be happy.

It is clean as well maintained there are paths that you can walk and you can never go wrong with nature!

This park is clean and calming.

Its beautiful and peaceful

Cannot find all the entrances well in the evening at dusk hard to fine someone with no lighting, and no signs visible from the street at dusk!

Great venue. I would like to use it for an event sometime.

A stand by trail when we just want a nice hike.

Great park for hiking and observing nature. They have a nice pond for kids to fish in too. Plus lots of turtles.

Great place to run!

We have enjoyed Firestone Metro Park for decades. The improvements to the hiking trails make for an enjoyable work out or nature walk you choose.

One of my favorite places for years. Peaceful place and your still in the city. Great place for families

Really nice nature trail. Not a lot of people either and its a big park too

A great Park to walk your dog and see the birds

Beautiful and clean park.

What a very nice quiet walking path has several bathrooms along the path and a really nice Pond for children 15 and under to fish in

Very nice trails, great scenery

Nice park but the bathrooms smelled

Great place you can hand feed the birds on the bridge

Nature is Beautiful!!

Awesome park love the trails

Nice small park within the city. A stones throw from the hustle and bustle of the golf course. A small creek and paths, make it a nice park to visit with plenty of parking.

Very nice, well maintained trails. Have reserved the shelter many times for events. Easily accommodated 80+ people and it is always clean and ready to go when we arrive.

Great place
