There were several fallen branches, but my kids had fun picking them up and I'm sure the runners were appreciative of that.

Park

“Gorgeous mansion built for entertaining and impressing guests. A lot like a castle. No expense was spared. Finished in 1916. All modern amenities. Oooooh the beautiful wood everywhere. No spoilers but be sure to find the built in pool, check out the organ and hear it, marvel at the kitchen and other servants areas around it, read about the eagle in the great hall and most of all ask the hosts and hostesses questions about the place, furnishings and the family. They really are knowledgeable and passionate about making sure everyone enjoys their day visiting. Yeah, the grounds are worth seeing all the different gardens and flora, a green house, carriage house just so much.”

Hampton Hills Metro Park

Address: 2925 Akron Peninsula Rd, Akron, OH 44313, USA

Park

“I had never been to this park, so we decided to not do the longest path. The path is rated "difficult". That seems appropriate. We took our time, the path was well marked. There were a few, but very few, signs of Spring. There was one area that holly trees were present providing a bit of encouraging green. There was also an area where wild rose was prevalent. Otherwise, there were a few small animals like chipmunks, squirrels, a few assorted various songbirds. The two things that stood out to me were a number of path areas were covered with sand to facilitate drainage and to avoid muddy patches and also a lot of drainage cuts made on the inclines to again facilitate drainage. The path was mostly well cared for and clear of debris. There was one low area that we had to cross a shallow stream. I would suggest taking a walking stick along to cross it and to maintain your balance on the steeper declines of the path. Keep in mind that I am in good physical condition, but I turn 67 tomorrow. Younger people passed us up and they kept up a quicker pace. So, keep this in mind as you read this review. Our visit to Hampton was late March 2021. Enjoy!”

There are woods and railroad tracks to wander for a couple miles on the left side, 1/2 mile of open field on the right, 3 trails (each over 4 miles) you can walk, plus both the Cuyahoga & Little Cuyahoga rivers run through it.”
