Confirmed from Acacia Reservation's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Passive park of 155 acres with a paved loop trail, a clubhouse & a regular schedule of guided walks.

Beautiful, serene, and welcoming place to walk. It’s large, so although it may look busy you won’t feel like you’re surrounded by others. Also, feels very safe when I’ve gone walking here. Bathroom was clean as well.
This is a hidden gem in NE Ohio, especially in the fall. It's absolutely breathtaking to walk along the paths admiring the glorious color of the changing season. There are a few walking or hiking options & the paths are mostly flat. There's a nice restroom & plenty of parking.
One of my favorite parks in the city, great views and trails. Extremely well maintained and cared for. There are benches along the trails to sit. Check it out!
