A great park to get moving in. We mostly walk here, but youll see plenty of people jogging, biking or roller blading. The pathways are paved and there are routes varying from a quarter mile to 2 miles, with benches every so often. Its really cool to be able to witness the reclaiming of the land. I just wish there was way finding, so that when you look at the map and decide to take a route, you can stay on that route.

Lots of well maintained paved trails. If you are looking for a more adventurous spot, go to a different branch of the metroparks. Trails are paved and there are plenty of options for which route to choose. Park is clean and generally not too busy.

Very respectful and tasteful funeral luncheon in honor of a dear friend. Delicious food and drinks served safely on the covered outdoor patio, while a trio of musicians played soothingly.

A large but simple city park. Nice trails, lots of grass and seasonal wild flowers. Ponds. Geese and other occasional birds. Some facilities at entrance but no playground. Great for jogging or dog walking

Beautiful spot in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Beachwood. I was there before and during rush hour times on a Thursday and you could hardly hear the traffic on Cedar Rd. Absolutely beautiful foliage and lots of butterflies fluttering around in the flowers. I loved the paved trails and loops. Was able to walk around for an hour with plenty of change in scenery. Good for a leisurely stroll, not a challenging hike. Mostly flat but some hills in a few areas.

Nice little walking and biking area. Pretty flat but just a nice calm area to get through and enjoy.

Surprisingly quiet. Would never know you’re 2 minutes from the mall. Great scenery. Took our dog on a long walk on the paved walkways. He had just as much fun as we did.

Very relaxing. Scenery beautiful. Trails should be marked for shorter and longer and directions given.Fun and out of society for awhile.

A nice getaway without actually getting too far away. The well maintained asphalt walkways are perfect for kid bicycling, inline skating, and strollers. Other visitors are courteous with only rare exception.Posting now during pandemic, observation of social distancing and masks are for the most part adered to.

A beautiful park! Just visited during quarantine for a walk and spent a little over two hours there. Lots of trails, ponds, and animals. Grab a coffee and go walk. Not much shade from trees, so dress appropriately! Im going to be visiting again.

Lovely oasis of natural beauty on site of former suburban golf course. Would be great to expand on this, create extensive greenways, natural corridors, etc. Also, could have better signage and map near entrance could better reflect reality.

A beautiful place to enjoy the best of nature. So many different plants, flowers & trees, plus the sounds of frogs, crickets & quiet are so relaxing! Terrific paths to get in a 2-3 mile walk without even knowing it.

First time coming. Was looking for somewhere inside cuyahoga county for a change of pace. It is nice to not be on a direct straight pathway. This one has small hills, turns, curves of all kinds and is a great area. Good path to walk, run, bike, rollerblade, take the kids, have a covid safe picnic etc. Good place to visit if you arent in any hurry because could take some time to get back lol. Wooly bears are still roaming the paths, I did see two, I saw a close by deer in a neighboring yard, and have your lenses ready because blue jays are quick! Stay safe everyone!! Hope you enjoy too!

Beautiful park with paved trails throughout. This park is extremely clean and well kept. There are garbage and recycling cans all along the path. We saw many birds and other people enjoying the day fishing, dog walking, running, or just taking a stroll. There are small hills but nothing too strenuous.

A nice, paved trail amid peaceful trees and brush. Good place to run, bike, stroll, or picnic on the field before the trail. Not the place for hiking or exploring nature, but perfect spot, right next to traffic and retail, to escape noise and buildings.

This is a great park to walk around in. There’s a couple of spots where the pavement ends and you have to walk through the dirt. Only really a problem after rain (gets quite muddy). There are restrooms available, but unfortunately the building facilities are often locked and all that’s available is portable toilets.

Review №46

An absolute gem of the Metro Park. So close to homes and shopping area. Yet in a five minute walk you find yourself in a quiet area surrounded by large trees, beautiful bushes, birds, an occasional Hawk, deer, or even a coyote. Year around beauty and serenity of nature all within an earshot of Lyndhurst, Beachwood, Pepper Pike, University Heights, Mayfield Heights.

My neighborhood park. Still transitioning from golf course and gets a lot of visitors due to location. Freshly paved paths. Not the prettiest metro park, but great to have in the neighborhood. Can run about 4 miles before getting repetitive.

Great space for our Bridal Shower!!! Lots of natural light and beautiful surroundings. Inside was clean and met standards of a former country club. The staff was gracious and efficient. The catering was in house and remarkabley appetizing to both the eyes and the palette. Definitely a venue to use in the future!!!

I love the back of this park. It was a private golf club. When it came time to sell because of an aging population and retail encroachment the decision was made to sell to the Nature Conservancy who then essentially gave it to the metro park system. The membership made that decision even though they had a higher offer from the city ergo wanted retail etc.The metro parks are slowly returning the courses to nature. Wonderful walking paths. Come and enjoy peace in the Middle of chaos.

Review №72

This Golf course converted into a metro park was stunningly beautiful...it had 4 trails my favorite was the l mile trail because the hills and curves made it look like a race track...however they said they were doing more renovations and i was so excited!!! Unfortunately it looks horrible the grass is all over grown they blocked off the small trail...got rid of the small fishing pond its a complete mess!!! I dont even bother going up there anymore...I rather walk at the small beachwood park off shaker blvd its a nice 2 mile trail with a pond and grass cut and u still get to see birds and deer

Big fan of this place! Came in for dinner with a coworker and was promptly seated (we had a 630p reservation) at a cozy 2 person table in their small but cute dining area. Our server (June I believe) was so friendly and passionate about the food and restaurant, and helped guide us through the menu and the specials. For our starters, we had the scallops (amazing!!) and the tuna tartare special. The tuna was interesting, but the fish could have been a little more fresh tasting -- it was a bit tough. For our entrees, we had the chilean sea bass with udon noodles (sooo good) and a halibut with potatoes, corn, and a truffle cream sauce. The halibut special was very yummy and great comfort food for a cold winter evening! My only complaint was that the dish itself was a combination of mostly white or cream-colored items, all piled high, which made it hard to see what we were eating! But wait, theres dessert -- had the persimmon pudding (tasted like english sticky pudding, a little too buttery/oily for me but was really good) and this light rice pudding type thing that could quite possible be the best dessert ive ever had.

I wonder if they have any plans to mark the different walking paths because there must be like 4 or 5 different paths that are intertwined and it would be real nice if they were marked.

Fun to have a natural park with walking and bicycling trails in the suburbs. Love how the park system is working to get the park more natural.
