F.A. Seiberling Nature Realm, Akron

I’ve been coming to this park for over 30 years! It’s a great park with easy paved walking paths but also has a couple more strenuous hilly unpaved trails. The indoor pavilion has cool exhibits for kids and a nice bird watching room, amongst other programs and events. Rock garden in spring - fall is a nice bonus. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite spots!! I’m here at least every other week. Beautiful trails and a nature center with a cute gift shop, kid-friendly educational resources and history, a little bird watching theater(!), and offering various classes. I’ve been to the nature drawing class a couple times and love the instructor. The trails also lead into the sandrun park. Great spot for photos for formal events/senior pics/engagements, etc. There’s also an herb garden that’s getting some updates, a cool bottle greenhouse, a couple ponds with nice benches. I can really spend all day here.
