This is a great park. There are several hiking trails going through varying scenery. There are trails for riding horses as well. There is a large reservoir with a beach and several smaller ponds throughout the park. Plenty of wildlife to be seen as well!

That have done better at maintaining the trails and because of COVID they have plenty of directional signage. Also for historical record it looks like the metroparks sign on Medina Line rd was hid by a vehicle. We typically go on the present run walk. On that trail you was through different types of wooded areas. There is plenty of variety on all the trails in Silver Park.

Awesome trails and the beach looked good too, but its closed right now. The pine section on the pheasant run trail is really cool. Definitely adding to my favorites.

This place is beautiful. Can swim, fish, kayak, hiking and just have fun. Took 2 of my kids for a couple of hours and met some really nice people from Illinois. They also said this place is beautiful. Well kept. Thanks to the metro parks for having places like this. We enjoyed are selves here and we will return.

A great park! Lake swimming, boating on weekends and fantastic, well-kept trails! We prefer chilling by the lake on the large sloping field, which is never super busy and always a great time. Plenty of shade but also plenty of sun, so something for everyone:)

Beautiful park with nice smooth lake for paddling. Two nice trails for a.total of 3 miles. Location has a beach and recreation area that is open during happier times. Also has 7 miles worth of horse back trails and an archery range. One of my favorite parks in the Summit County metro park system.

The Chippewa & Pleasent Run trails are roughly 80% shaded. Very good natural indexes on the different trees of Ohio on the Chippewa Trail.

Great trail: mostly shaded but with some sun. Woods keeps most of it cool enough to walk even on hot days. Good path, but does have occasional roots and ruts (easily avoided). Gorgeous pond nearby for swimming, fishing, etc.

Awesome little park. 1 mile and 2 mile trails. Multiple fishing holes. Boat launch. Also a designated area for grilling and picnicking. Enclosed beach with life guards, concession stand, restrooms and playground for kids. Dog friendly on trails but I dont believe they are allowed on the beach.

One of our favorite metro parks! Mature trees, open fields, pond, fishing, hiking, beach, boating, and streams. Lots of space to roam.

Great place to play Pokemon, way over fished. Very nice park though. Its big and convenient access from all over. Lots of very nice trails and everything is very well maintained. It has horse trails, nature hikes in the fall, swimming on a lifeguard beach, kayak rentals, cross country trails, multiple ponds and tons of wildlife! Its worth going for all kinds of reasons but it is beautiful. It also has the best free archery range around with a raised deck and multiple lanes. Its a great place, check it out any time of year and youll be happy you did :)

The metro park, lake, and beach areas are really clean and beautiful. Theres multiple docks at the lake where you can fish, and one where you could launch kayaks.The trails that we were on arent able to be used by bicycles, but are used by foot. The paths are very clear cut, and maintained very well.

So, you want me to write a review about Silver Creek? Okay. Ill make this one quick. Silver Creek Metro Park is basically a peak into the pearly gates of Jesus pleasure castle. Literally, the second I get out of my car, the fauna and air rejuvenate my skin with angel kisses. If you believe in fairies and wood nymphs, they are actively giving me back massage whilst the angels are caressing my supple skin with their divine mystic powers. So really, if you want to go to Heaven, dont wait until you die and get shot out of a cannon into hyperspace. Just go on down to Silver Creek Metro Park for a few hours. Trust me. Its organic. Its biodegradable. Its sustainable.

I have loved this park since I was small. I even worked here in the summer of 2000 as a seasonal maintenance worker. It was a tough job, but had many priceless perks ️ Always well maintained, trust me, we scrubbed out those porta johns every morning **I guess I should add a few things about it to make it a proper review? It has 2 beautiful walking trails. Chippewa trail has a beautiful historical barn. And 1 nice long bridle trail. Many ponds, and a large lake that you can fish in. The lake has 2 docks, one observation dock, and one floating dock for fishing and boat rentals. They also sell bait. On the other end of the lake theres a bath house with lifeguards and changing rooms for swimming. A Pavilion you can rent for gatherings, as well as many other smaller picking areas with grills (including the beach area where swimming is). Bathrooms and parking, and events and activities throughout the year. My favorite, the fall family outing where they have free hayrides through the park and many other fun things.

This is a great place to hike. Its not too difficult of trails, but still dirt paths that are not paved. Its a good place to bring young kids. There are two trails. One is 2.1 miles long, the other is about a mile long.

Great fishing if you get there at the right time. Good bass population. The red ears / shell crunchers seem to have the snails in check. Snails arent nearly as bad this year. Still bring them in when fishing the bottom but, not as common this year. Be careful when throwing cranks and other expensive baits from the end of the dock. There are plenty of trees out off the dock in just about all directions to give fish shelter and hunting grounds. Great for fishing as long as you dont get hung up in them.

Beautiful park with nice shaded walking paths. Playground is only accessible with a swim pass in summer which is disappointing, but the lake and grounds are well kept, dog pickup bags are always stocked, and the trails offer lots of resting options while walking. (Plenty of pokestops along the two mile trail)

I think the trails could use some working on. There are very uneven paths in some areas I feel people could possibly hurt their ankles. They should really fill these areas in. Some parts of the park are better than other parts of the park.

This is an amazing place to spend the day. Offering year around activities, from fishing, to paddle boating,swimming,hiking, to my favorite the fall bonfires and hay rides. The park staff do an excellent job with the upkeep of the park. So get up off the couch and go see what your local metro parks have to offer.

Silver Creek Metro Park is a fantastic park tucked away in the southwest corner of Summit county.Very well maintained park! There are several trails to hike. Even two equestrian trails. A sandy beach area (small admission fee in season) is also located within the park.Just outside of the park is an archery range that is very well maintained an is free to use.Throughout the park are several shelters that can be rented as well as a few picnic areas. Most of the picnic tables are in shaded areas.Certainly worth the drive out!

Fishing, swimming, picnicking and feild games, this is the place for all of the above. The playground and all but swimming is free. And the swimming price is extremely fair. The beach and water is clean. The trails are beautiful and clean, the picnic tables have a grill nearby. Dogs are allowed in certain areas.
